Testing how rumination changes in depressed teens
This study looks at what changes in “rumination” (repetitive worrying/thinking about negative thoughts) in teens with depression, and how those changes relate to recovery. It’s for ages 14–17 who have had major depression and meet specific screening and medical rules.

Group CBT to reduce rumination in psychosis
This trial tests a structured group therapy (rumination-focused CBT) to help reduce repetitive negative thinking (“rumination”) that can worsen symptoms in people with psychosis. It may help you feel less stuck in unhelpful thoughts and improve day-to-day functioning while you continue your usual care.

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT05617495Recruiting
Mindfulness training with brain scans for depression
This study tests a mindfulness-based program combined with “brain scan feedback” (fMRI neurofeedback) to see if it can help teenagers and young adults with major depression. It may help by teaching skills and tracking brain activity changes during treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 13–18 - NCT06511544Recruiting
Brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression with rumination
