Deep brain stimulation for bipolar depression
This study tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS), a surgical treatment that uses electrical pulses to target specific brain areas, is safe and feasible for people with bipolar depression that hasn't improved with other treatments. It may offer a new option for those who have exhausted standard therapies.
New York, New YorkAges 22–70 - NCT06984796Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for perception?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 210 recruiting perception studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a perception trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a perception trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
