This Phase 3 trial tests whether theta burst stimulation (a type of non-invasive brain treatment) can improve control over gambling urges and behaviors. It is meant for adults with a confirmed diagnosis of gambling disorder and no major complicating mental health or medical issues.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation method called high-intensity transcranial alternating current stimulation to see if it can reduce gambling urges and behavior in people with gambling disorder.
This trial tests whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called TMS can help reduce impulse control problems (like gambling or compulsive eating) that are caused by Parkinson's medications. It's for people with Parkinson's who are living with these side effects.
This trial tests different targets for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-surgical brain stimulation—to change brain “reward” activity in people who are nicotine dependent. If you qualify, you may receive sessions of brain stimulation as the researchers look for the best brain target.
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can help people with internet gaming disorder reduce their gaming urges and improve control. You would receive either real or sham rTMS over several sessions.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help people with schizophrenia improve their ability to stop impulsive actions. By targeting the part of the brain that controls inhibition, researchers hope to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.
