Home brain stimulation for appetite control
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a gentle brain stimulation device you can use at home to see if it helps reduce overeating. It may help people who struggle with binge eating or strong food cravings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 65 years old.
- You have a score of 18 or higher on a standard binge eating questionnaire.

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can help reduce food cravings and support weight control in adults who struggle with these issues but are otherwise healthy.
This trial tests if gentle electrical brain stimulation (called tDCS) before weight-loss surgery can help you gain better control over your eating habits. It's designed for people with severe obesity who struggle with overeating.
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation (a safe, non-invasive technique called TMS) and a computer-based training program can help reduce binge eating episodes. Researchers will also look at changes in brain activity using MRI scans.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can help cognitive-behavioral therapy work better for people with anorexia nervosa. It aims to improve outcomes by targeting brain areas linked to thinking and behavior.
This study uses brain imaging and mild magnetic stimulation to explore how a brain circuit helps you feel full after eating. It may help us understand eating behaviors and weight regulation.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment to see if it can help people with anorexia nervosa. The treatment targets brain circuits involved in the disorder, which may reduce symptoms and improve well-being.
