NEUROMODULATION

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) can reduce pain and other symptoms in people with Parkinson's disease. Researchers will compare different stimulation patterns in 90 adults aged 40-80 who have h…

This study tested whether a special sound system using binaural beats could help patients feel more relaxed during procedures to fix dialysis access. About 100 adults with dialysis access problems took part. The approach aims to improve the overall experience by reducing stress w…

This study tests two simple, drug-free treatments for people with long-term tinnitus (ringing in the ears). 45 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either vagus nerve stimulation (a mild electrical pulse on the ear), myofascial release exercises (gentle muscle stretches), …

This study tests two non-invasive devices that stimulate the vagus nerve (one on the neck, one on the ear) to see which better reduces physical discomfort and health-related anxiety in people with Somatic Symptom Disorder. About 60 adults will try both devices in random order, ea…

This study tests whether a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how young orchestra musicians (ages 18-30) play and feel on stage. Participants receive either real or fake stimulation and then perform a piece, with their performance judged by exp…

This study looks at how tiny electrical pulses to a deep brain area (the thalamus) change sleep-related brain waves. Researchers will work with 50 patients who already have brain electrodes for medical reasons. The goal is to learn how current brain stimulation therapies affect s…

This small pilot study is testing whether a non-invasive device that stimulates the vagus nerve through the ear can change the heart's electrical signals. Ten adults already scheduled for a heart procedure will receive the stimulation while doctors measure various heart timing in…
