TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep TMS can help veterans with alcohol use disorder drink less or stay sober. Eight veterans in treatment received the therapy, and researchers checked their drinking habits 6 months later. The goal was …

This study investigates whether adding focal muscle vibration to shoulder exercises can improve how the brain processes sensory and movement signals in people with chronic subacromial impingement syndrome. Participants will receive 12 sessions of either vibration-assisted exercis…

This study tested whether personalized magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) is safe and helpful for people with early Alzheimer's disease. Forty participants received either real or fake TMS to see if it could improve memory and thinking. The goal was to find a non-drug way to ease s…

This study tested an accelerated form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in 50 adults with treatment-resistant depression. Participants received 50 sessions over two weeks, comparing a bilateral approach (stimulating both sides of the brain) with a unilateral one (stimula…

This study tested whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can reduce apathy—a severe lack of motivation—in older veterans with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). About 103 participants received either real or fake TMS over 20 sessions. The goal was to see if TMS could impro…

This study tested whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with balance exercises could improve walking in people who had a stroke. Thirty stroke survivors, aged 50 to 60, participated. Researchers measured change…

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation (TBS) could help reduce cravings and improve symptoms in people with methamphetamine use disorder. Twenty-two adults in Indonesia who had not yet received treatment were given TBS …

This study tested whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS could reduce anhedonia, or loss of interest or pleasure. 72 adults with elevated anhedonia received TMS targeting the brain's reward circuit. Researchers measured changes in self-reported anhedonia and brain activit…

This completed study tested whether low-frequency magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the cerebellum could help people with Parkinson's disease. Forty participants received either real or sham stimulation daily for two weeks. Researchers measured changes in movement, brain activity, a…

This completed study tested how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) changes brain activity and connections in areas linked to thinking and control. Fifty-nine healthy young adults received TMS while researchers measured brain responses with fMRI. The goal was to learn more ab…

This small study tested whether applying magnetic pulses to the brain's sensory area could help stroke survivors learn movements better. Twenty people who had a stroke at least three months ago received the stimulation while researchers measured brain activity and motor responses…

This small pilot study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) could help people with bipolar disorder regulate their emotions. Nineteen participants, including healthy controls, completed behavioral tasks measuring…

This study looked at how a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS affects connections between the prefrontal and parietal cortex—areas important for planning and control. 54 healthy young adults received TMS while their brain activity was measured with fMRI. The goal…

This study tested whether different types of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve how quickly healthy people learn new motor skills. Sixty adults aged 18-65 received either real or sham stimulation over brain areas involved in movement and sensation. Th…

This study looked at how two brain areas—the cerebellum and the supplementary motor area—help control balance when people start walking. Twenty healthy adults received temporary magnetic pulses to briefly disrupt each brain area, and researchers measured how it affected their wal…
