Brain stimulation for recurrent pregnancy loss and higher weight
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests a type of non-invasive brain stimulation (called rTMS) to see if it can improve the connection between the heart and brain in women who have had multiple pregnancy losses and have a higher body weight. It may help reduce stress and improve overall health, which could support future pregnancies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 45 years old and are right-handed.
- You have had at least two miscarriages in a row, each before 28 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your BMI is 24 or higher (considered overweight or obese).
- You are not currently pregnant and have recovered from any recent miscarriage without complications.
- You have no metal in your head or implanted devices that could make brain stimulation unsafe.

This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (repetitive TMS) to see if it can improve heart health and reduce anxiety in women who have had multiple pregnancy losses and struggle with anxiety. You will receive high-intensity, low-frequency magnetic pulses over a specific area of the brain involved in worry and stress.
This study tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood, can help women with depression during pregnancy or within the first year after giving birth. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for peripartum depression.
This study tests how a specific kind of brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) works for people with depression that has not responded to standard treatments. If you qualify, it may help doctors understand the mechanism and improve options for treatment-resistant depression.
This study looks at whether brain scans and electrical signals can predict who might get postpartum depression, and tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called TMS to see if it helps. Participating may give you early support and access to a treatment that could reduce your risk of depression after childbirth.
This study tests repeated brain stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can improve symptoms of schizophrenia and related depression, and measure body/brain changes. You may be considered if you have schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder with enough depressive symptoms, and if recent treatments and medical safety factors fit the rules.
This study tests a non-drug treatment called repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to reduce depression symptoms in people with depression after a spinal cord injury. You might be eligible if you have ongoing major depression and can safely receive magnetic pulses to the head.
