Brain stimulation study for anxiety
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses two non-invasive brain tools — transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and functional MRI — to see how the brain's startle response works in people with anxiety. You will not receive a drug; the goal is to learn more about brain circuits involved in anxiety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be right-handed.
- You must be able to give your own consent to participate.
- If you are receiving treatment for anxiety, your medication dose must have been stable for at least 4 weeks.
- You cannot have any significant medical or neurological problems.
- You cannot have a history of seizures or epilepsy, or anything that raises your risk of seizures.
- You cannot have any metal in your body or medical implants that would make an MRI unsafe.
