Repetitive brain stimulation for depression after spinal cord injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial studies a brain-stimulation treatment to improve depression symptoms in people who have depression after a spinal cord injury. It may help if you have major depression and meet specific safety and eligibility checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re between 18 and 70 years old.
- You had a spinal cord injury of the neck or upper back and it’s been at least 6 months.
- You can partially move your right thumb (enough to use the needed treatment dosing setup).
- You have major depressive disorder based on depression screening tests.
- You have not taken antidepressant medicine, or you haven’t changed doses for 4 weeks (6 weeks if you just started).

This study tests a non-drug treatment called repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to reduce depression symptoms in people with depression after a spinal cord injury. You might be eligible if you have ongoing major depression and can safely receive magnetic pulses to the head.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, can improve movement and function in people with chronic spinal cord injury. It may help if you have some movement left below your injury level.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) in people with major depression who did not respond to antidepressant medicines. It may help some participants improve depression symptoms over time.
This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can safely and effectively treat major depression in adults who also have autism spectrum disorder. rTMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain areas without surgery.
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation method can improve arm and hand function in people with spinal cord injury, as well as in healthy individuals. The goal is to find a safe and effective way to boost recovery.
This trial tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can reduce depression symptoms in adults with major depression. You would likely have several study visits that include brain scans (MRI) and treatment sessions to see if symptoms improve.
