Comparing MRI-guided targeting for depression brain stimulation
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study compares different ways of targeting magnetic stimulation for depression treatment. It aims to see if using MRI-based targeting improves outcomes compared to standard methods, potentially leading to more effective and personalized treatment for people with depression.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 75 years old.
- You must be able to have an MRI scan (no metal in your body, like screws, plates, or a pacemaker).
- You are either healthy with no mental health conditions, or you have depression that hasn't improved with standard treatments (called treatment-resistant depression).
- You have no history of brain conditions such as stroke, seizures, or brain surgery.
- If you have depression, you must be planning to receive a treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain.

This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can help treat depression in people aged 15 to 25. It involves a quick, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to the head, and researchers want to see how it affects thinking and mood.
This study uses brain imaging to guide a noninvasive treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for people with depression. It aims to see if tailoring the stimulation to each person's brain can improve symptoms.
This trial tests a new way to use magnetic pulses to target specific brain areas linked to depression. It aims to improve mood by stimulating a circuit that may be overactive in people with major depression.
This study uses brain scans and magnetic stimulation to understand depression. It is testing how the brain responds to treatment and may help find better ways to treat depression.
This study compares two types of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat depression. One type uses a brain scan (fMRI) to guide the treatment, while the other uses a standard approach. It may help people whose depression hasn't improved with medication.
This trial tests whether combining fMRI brain scans with TMS (a non-invasive brain stimulation) can help treat depression more effectively. It is for adults with major depressive disorder who can safely undergo MRI.
