San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 21–65 - NCT03437928Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for severe, treatment-resistant depression
This trial tests whether deep brain stimulation (DBS, a surgically placed device that sends signals to the brain) can reduce symptoms of long-lasting major depression that has not improved with many treatments. You may be more likely to qualify if your depression has been present for years, has been resistant to multiple medications and therapies, and if you meet specific safety and testing requirements.
Dallas, TexasAges 22–70 - NCT04041479RecruitingPhase 3
Brain-scan guided rTMS for treatment-resistant depression
This trial tests whether using brain-related “biomarkers” from your scans to guide rTMS can improve depression that hasn’t responded to at least one antidepressant. It may help by targeting brain circuits linked to depression more precisely.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 22–65 - NCT04824105Recruiting
Therapy for anxious coping using brain stimulation
This study tests a treatment approach aimed at helping people manage anxiety and related conditions by changing brain activity. It may help if you’re currently trying to get mental health treatment and meet their specific safety rules.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–65 - NCT07226011Recruiting
Fast High-Dose Brain Stimulation for Depression
This study tests a stronger, faster type of brain stimulation (called tDCS) to see if it can help treat depression. It may be a good fit if you have major depression and haven't used other brain stimulation in the past 6 months.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT05437705Recruiting
Brain scan and stimulation study for low mood
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and a brain-stimulation method (TMS) to understand and possibly change brain patterns linked with low mood. You may be eligible if you have moderate to severe depression symptoms and can safely complete the scans and stimulation sessions.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT05671185Recruiting
Brain stimulation for schizophrenia symptoms and depression
This study tests repeated brain stimulation (rTMS) to see if it can improve symptoms of schizophrenia and related depression, and measure body/brain changes. You may be considered if you have schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder with enough depressive symptoms, and if recent treatments and medical safety factors fit the rules.
Douliu, YunlinAges 20 years+ - NCT06273904Recruiting
Focused ultrasound to help manage anxiety
This trial tests whether focused ultrasound can help people with anxiety disorders better manage their symptoms. It involves brain stimulation and recording sessions to see how the treatment works.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18–65 - NCT06528938Recruiting
Accelerated vs. standard TMS for teen depression
This study tests whether a faster, brain-guided form of TMS (called iTBS) can help treat depression in teenagers better than standard TMS. You may qualify if you're 16–19, have tried an antidepressant that didn't work well, and have no medical reasons to avoid TMS or MRI.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 16–19 - NCT06544408Recruiting
Brain stimulation for fast relief of PTSD
