Borderline Personality Disorder clinical trials at UCLA
2 in progress, 1 open to eligible people
Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder With rTMS
open to eligible people ages 18-65
This project studies the effectiveness of brain stimulation on borderline personality disorder (BPD) symptoms. This study is blinded, randomized and will enroll up to 30 participants. Participant will be consented for the study remotely via a secure internet platform called Zoom. Participants will undergo up to 2 MRI scans, 2 brain wave recording sessions and up to 30 brain stimulation treatments, and complete symptom assessments and cognitive behavioral tasks on a computer. Participation requires minimum of 17 in person visits over the course of 2.5 months. Participants are randomly assigned active or sham brain stimulation. Participants who received sham brain stimulation have the option to receive additional 15 active brain stimulation session.

PILOT Phase: BPD Study
Sorry, in progress, not accepting new patients
This pilot study aims to identify the area of the brain best suited for the treatment of Borderline Personality disorder (BPD). The study investigators will test whether repetitiveTranscranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), a gentle non-invasive brain stimulation method, can improve regulation of emotions and impulsivity in individuals with BPD. This study will enroll up to 20 participants. Participant will be consented for the study remotely via a secure internet platform called Zoom. Participants will undergo 1 Magnetic Resonance Imaging or MRI scan and up to 3 brain stimulation of transcranial magnetic stimulation or TMS sessions, and cognitive behavioral testing on a computer. Participants will complete 4 in-person visits over the course of up to 3 weeks.
