TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION

This small study tested whether deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can help veterans with alcohol use disorder stay sober. Eight veterans received the treatment and were followed for 6 months to see if they relapsed, how many days they stayed alcohol-free, and how many…

This study tested whether low-frequency magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the cerebellum could improve symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. Forty adults aged 40–80 with mild to moderate Parkinson's took part. Researchers measured changes in movement, brain scans, and blood m…

This study tested whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique (TMS) can reduce apathy—a severe lack of motivation—in older Veterans with mild memory problems. About 100 participants received either real or fake TMS over 20 sessions. The goal was to see if TMS coul…

This study tested whether adding a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to balance-focused exercises helps improve walking in people who have had a stroke. Thirty stroke survivors, aged 50-60 and at least six months post-stroke, took part. …

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve motor learning in people who had a stroke at least 3 months ago. Twenty participants received rTMS over the part of the brain that processes…

This small pilot study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS could help people with bipolar disorder improve their emotion regulation. Nineteen participants, including those with bipolar disorder and healthy controls, completed behavioral tasks meas…

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called theta burst stimulation (TBS) could help people with methamphetamine use disorder reduce their cravings. Twenty-two adults in Indonesia received TBS alongside standard counseling. The goal was to see if TBS …

This study tested a type of brain stimulation called TMS on 72 adults who have trouble feeling pleasure (anhedonia). The goal was to see if targeting the brain's reward circuit could improve their ability to enjoy life. Researchers measured changes in mood and brain activity usin…

This study tested whether different types of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve how quickly healthy people learn a new motor skill. Sixty adults aged 18 to 65 completed a computer-based task matching letters while receiving one of several rTMS protoco…

This study looked at how a gentle magnetic pulse (TMS) changes the way different parts of the brain talk to each other. 54 healthy adults aged 18-30 had their brains scanned with fMRI while doing tasks. The goal was to learn more about how the brain controls behavior, not to trea…

This study looked at how two brain regions—the cerebellum and the supplementary motor area—help us keep our balance when we start walking. Twenty healthy adults had their balance measured before and after temporarily disrupting these areas with a non-invasive magnetic pulse. The …
