Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–60 - NCT05102929Recruiting
Brain-training for working memory in early schizophrenia
This study looks at whether a treatment that targets brain “rhythms” can improve working memory in people who are in the early stage of schizophrenia. It may help the brain process information more effectively, which can support daily thinking and functioning.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–40 - NCT04999553Recruiting
Comparing brain stimulation on left vs right side for depression
This study tests whether delivering a type of brain stimulation to the left side of the head is as effective as delivering it to the right side for treating major depression. The treatment is called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18–65 - NCT07749378Recruiting
Brain stimulation study for healthy decision making
This study uses gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation (like a magnetic pulse) to understand how healthy people make decisions. If you join, you will perform simple tasks while your brain activity is briefly affected, which may reveal how your choices work.
Würzburg, BavariaAges 18–40 - NCT07786714Recruiting
Faster brain stimulation for early psychosis risk
This study tests a faster type of brain stimulation, called accelerated neuromodulation therapy, in people who have early signs that could lead to psychosis. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve daily life.
Verdun, QuebecAges 18–34 - NCT07768397Recruiting
Comparing two brain-stimulation schedules for depression
This study tests two different schedules of a treatment called theta burst stimulation, which uses magnetic pulses to gently stimulate the brain. It aims to find out if the faster schedule works better than the standard one for people with major depression.
Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18–65 - NCT07758010Recruiting
Brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called cTBS (continuous theta burst stimulation) applied to a specific part of the brain (the precuneus) to see if it helps with treatment-resistant depression. It aims to provide a new option for people who haven't found relief from standard treatments.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07673913Recruiting
Blood markers and brain stimulation for hard-to-treat depression
This study is testing whether a new type of brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) can help people with treatment-resistant depression (depression that hasn't improved with standard medicines). It also looks at certain blood markers to see if they can predict how well someone will respond to this treatment.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–55 - NCT07682207Recruiting
