TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called deep TMS could help veterans with alcohol use disorder stay sober longer. Eight veterans received the treatment, which targets specific brain areas involved in addiction, and were monitored for six months…

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, called Theta Burst Stimulation, could help people with methamphetamine addiction. It was a small trial in Indonesia where participants received the stimulation alongside standard counseling. The main goal was t…

This study tested whether gently stimulating a specific part of the brain with magnets could help control Parkinson's disease symptoms. 40 participants with Parkinson's received either real or fake (sham) magnetic stimulation. Researchers measured changes in symptoms, brain activ…

This study tested whether magnetic stimulation applied to the front of the brain could improve apathy—a severe loss of motivation—in older Veterans with mild memory problems. Participants received either real or fake stimulation over 20 sessions to see if it could restore motivat…

This study tested whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique could help healthy adults learn new physical skills more quickly. Researchers compared stimulating two different brain areas to see which was more effective for improving accuracy and speed in a computer-b…

This study aimed to understand how stimulating specific brain areas with magnets affects how different parts of the brain communicate during complex thinking tasks. Researchers used a non-invasive technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on 54 healthy young adults…

This study aimed to understand how a non-invasive brain stimulation technique affects the brain circuits related to pleasure and reward. Researchers tested the procedure on 72 right-handed adults who reported experiencing low pleasure (anhedonia). They used brain scans and survey…

This small, completed study explored whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS could help people with bipolar disorder regulate their emotions better. Researchers tested 19 participants to see if stimulating specific brain areas improved their performance on e…

This study aimed to understand how two specific brain areas help us keep our balance when we start walking. Researchers temporarily reduced activity in these brain areas in 20 healthy volunteers using safe magnetic stimulation. They then measured how this affected the volunteers'…
