This trial tests a faster form of TMS (brain stimulation) for people with depression who are pregnant (14-34 weeks) or within one year of giving birth. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and well-tolerated.
This study tests an accelerated form of iTBS (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) for depression that hasn't improved with antidepressant medications. The goal is to help people with major depression who haven't responded adequately to at least one antidepressant drug.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation (guided iTBS) to improve depression when standard antidepressant treatments haven’t helped. It also checks that the treatment is safe for people who can meet the study and scan safety requirements.
This trial tests a faster version of a brain stimulation treatment called TMS for people with depression. The goal is to see how well it works and how tolerable it is.
This trial studies a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment for people with depression or related symptoms that haven't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see how well it works in real-world settings.
This trial tests an accelerated form of TMS (a treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain) for people with severe depression who have recently been in a psychiatric hospital. It aims to see if a faster schedule of TMS can help improve symptoms quickly.
