Personalized brain stimulation for treatment-resistant anxiety
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special brain stimulation method called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) that is personalized to your brain activity, to help people whose anxiety has not improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if this faster, tailored approach can reduce anxiety symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 21 and 70 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of an anxiety-related disorder (like panic disorder, social anxiety, OCD, PTSD, or general anxiety).
- You have tried at least two anxiety medications (each for at least 4 weeks) or therapy, and it did not help enough.
- You can speak and understand English and are willing to give informed consent.
- You do not have certain health conditions or devices that make TMS or MRI unsafe (such as epilepsy, pacemaker, metal in the head, or being pregnant).

This study tests a new way to use magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to treat depression and anxiety that haven't improved with medication. The treatment is personalized based on your brain scans, which may make it more effective.
This study tests a new, personalized form of brain stimulation (called TMS) using MRI scans to target the right areas for people whose depression hasn't improved with medication. It aims to see if this tailored approach works better than standard TMS.
This study tests a personalized, maintenance brain-stimulation treatment (called accelerated TMS) that is fine-tuned for each person to help keep depression from coming back. It also uses wrist-worn sensors and phone surveys to track mood and catch signs of depression early so you can get help sooner.
This study tests a new way to use magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to treat anxiety that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if targeting specific brain connections can reduce anxiety symptoms.
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.
This study tests a treatment approach aimed at helping people manage anxiety and related conditions by changing brain activity. It may help if you’re currently trying to get mental health treatment and meet their specific safety rules.
