Test a brain stimulation program for depression and anxiety
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a patient-friendly, scheduled brain stimulation treatment can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. It also checks whether the treatment plan is practical and safe to use in real outpatient settings.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18+) who can join as an outpatient.
- You can understand the study and freely agree to take part.
- Your depression symptoms are at least moderate (IDS-30-SR score 26 or higher).
- You have not started or increased any mood/mental health medicines in the last 4 weeks (or you may be on a stable dose).
- You can attend and follow the full treatment schedule as planned.
- You pass the TMS safety screening questionnaire (TASS), meaning the treatment is considered safe for your health and devices.

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.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique called TMS can help people with depression, anxiety, OCD, or schizophrenia. It aims to find better ways to target the treatment for each person's specific needs.
This study tests an in-hospital brain stimulation treatment (TMS) for people with moderate to severe depression who did not improve after multiple antidepressant treatments. It may help your mood by targeting brain circuits involved in depression, and you would follow an intensive accelerated schedule.
This study combines mindfulness practice with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—to help people with depression that hasn't improved with antidepressant medications. The goal is to see if adding mindfulness to TMS improves how well the treatment works.
This study tests a specialized type of magnetic brain stimulation (spectral TMS) to treat severe major depression when standard treatments haven’t worked. You may be eligible if you’ve tried several antidepressants and other add-on treatments but still have symptoms.
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.
