Magnetic brain stimulation to calm stress after heart attack
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether magnetic brain stimulation (called TMS) can help calm the overactive stress response and reduce inflammation after a heart attack. If you've recently had a heart attack and your heart rate is fast, this treatment might aid your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 75 years old.
- You have recently had a heart attack and received standard treatment (like a stent or clot-busting drug).
- Your heart is pumping okay (not severe heart failure) and you are not in cardiogenic shock.
- Your resting heart rate is at least 90 beats per minute or your heart rate variability shows increased stress response.
- You do not have a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator, metal in your head, a history of seizures, or severe liver/kidney disease.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you do not have alcohol or substance dependency.

This study tests whether magnetic brain stimulation before and after surgery can help older adults with mild memory or thinking problems recover their thinking abilities faster. You would receive either real or sham stimulation for a few days around your surgery.
This study uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain treatment using magnetic pulses) to improve heart rate control in people who have had a stroke. It may help your body better manage stress and blood pressure.
This trial tests whether adding magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) after clot-removal surgery can help people recover better from a stroke. It is for people who had a moderate-to-severe stroke in the front part of the brain and had the clot removed.
This study tests a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation treatment tailored to each person, to help improve memory and thinking after a recent stroke. It is for people within 10 weeks of their first stroke who have some cognitive difficulties.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) that is guided by brain scans to help reduce PTSD symptoms. It is individualized for each participant and aims to improve how well the treatment works.
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.
