First seen Mar 09, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study tests whether a single session of brain stimulation (rTMS) combined with emotion regulation skills training can help people with mood, anxiety, or related disorders better control their emotions. About 240 adults aged 18-55 who struggle with emotion regulation will be randomly assigned to different training and stimulation combinations. The goal is to see how the brain changes and whether these changes lead to better emotional control over the next month.
