Magnetic brain stimulation for vision in severe myopia
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive procedure using magnetic pulses on the scalp) can help restore vision in people with severe myopia (high nearsightedness). It may offer a new option for those with advanced vision loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 45 and 70 years old.
- You have severe myopia (high nearsightedness) with advanced eye changes.
- You have not had transcranial magnetic stimulation before and have no reasons you cannot receive it.
- You have no other major eye diseases (like untreated retinal detachment, glaucoma, or cataracts) that would interfere.
- You have not had eye surgery or certain eye injections in the past 3 months.
- You do not have epilepsy, metal implants in your head, or a serious medical condition like severe heart or kidney disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can improve peripheral (side) vision in people with open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma. It targets people whose central vision is still relatively preserved but whose side vision has a measurable “gap” on vision testing.
This study tests a new approach using non-invasive brain and visual stimulation to improve vision in people with glaucoma. If you have mild to moderate glaucoma and stable vision, this trial may help see if your eyesight can get better.
This study tests whether a safe, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called tDCS) can help people with vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa, rod-cone dystrophy, or advanced glaucoma move around more easily and safely. Participants will do walking and orientation tasks while receiving the stimulation.
This trial tests a gentle, noninvasive brain stimulation technique (called TMS) to see if it can improve vision in adults with lazy eye. It is a noninvasive approach that does not involve surgery or drugs.
This study tests how a non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique affects the brain in healthy volunteers. It involves MRI scans and aims to understand brain function without surgery.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the scalp can improve vision in people with glaucoma. It uses a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called rtACS, which may help damaged optic nerves work better.
