TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION

This study tested a brain stimulation technique called deep TMS in 8 veterans with alcohol use disorder. The goal was to see if it could help them stay sober and reduce heavy drinking over 6 months. Results are based on self-reported drinking habits.

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

This study tested whether low-frequency magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the cerebellum can help people with Parkinson's disease. Forty adults with mild to moderate Parkinson's received the treatment while continuing their usual medications. Researchers measured changes in movement…

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 sham stimulation over 20 sessions. The goal was to see if …

This study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied to the somatosensory cortex (the brain area that processes touch and sensation) could improve motor learning in people who had a stroke at least…

This study tested whether adding brain stimulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation) to balance and movement training helps stroke survivors walk better. Thirty people who had a stroke at least six months ago took part. The goal was to see if the combination improved their walk…

This small pilot study tested whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) could help people with bipolar disorder improve their emotion regulation. Nineteen participants, including both patients and healthy controls, completed…

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 looked at how a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS affects communication between the prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex in healthy young adults. 54 right-handed volunteers aged 18-30 completed tasks while their brain activity was measured …

This study tested whether different types of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help healthy adults learn a new motor skill faster. Sixty participants completed the trial, which measured how accurately and quickly they could match keyboard keys to ancient Pho…

This study looked at how two brain areas—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 brain regions with magnetic pulses. The goal was…
