Clinical Studies at UCLA TMS
Our research program is dedicated to expanding the applications of brain stimulation and improving outcomes for patients. Below are our currently active studies.
Resonant Frequency Study — Personalized EEG-based TMS
Investigating individualized, EEG-based “resonant frequency” stimulation — tuning TMS to each patient’s own brain rhythms — to improve antidepressant response.

A multicenter clinical trial evaluating deep brain stimulation (DBS) as a treatment for severe, treatment-resistant depression.
Learn about eligibilityTMS for Borderline Personality Disorder
Exploring the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation to address impulsivity and other core symptoms of borderline personality disorder.
Learn about eligibilityTMS for Fibromyalgia
Evaluating TMS as a treatment for fibromyalgia-related pain.
Learn about eligibilityTMS for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
Investigating whether repetitive TMS can slow cognitive decline or improve cognitive function in patients with mild cognitive impairment or early-stage dementia.
Learn about eligibilityResponsive Neurostimulation for Treatment-Resistant PTSD
A novel approach using responsive neurostimulation to treat post-traumatic stress disorder that has not responded to conventional therapies.
Learn about eligibilityBRAIN Trial (Concussion/TBI)
Studying the effects of TMS on patients with persistent symptoms following concussion or traumatic brain injury.
Learn about eligibilityTMS and Stimulant Pharmacotherapy to Enhance Neuroplasticity
Examining whether combining TMS with targeted pharmacotherapy can enhance neuroplastic changes in the brain, potentially improving treatment outcomes for depression and other neuropsychiatric conditions.
