Brain stimulation plus medication for youth suicide
Treatments studied
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a new type of brain stimulation (iTBS) combined with a medicine called D-cycloserine can reduce suicidal thoughts in young adults who have previously attempted suicide. It aims to find a faster, mood-boosting treatment option for young people at risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 24 years old.
- You have made a suicide attempt in the past and are currently having suicidal thoughts.
- Your depression symptoms are at least moderate in severity.
- You are not currently misusing alcohol or drugs.
- You cannot use certain anxiety medications or have metal implants in your head.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for young people ages 15-25 who are having serious depression and suicidal thoughts. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce risk and improve mood.
This study tests whether stimulating the brain on both sides at once versus one side can reduce suicidal thoughts in people with treatment-resistant depression. It also looks at brain “inhibition” signals to help predict who benefits.
This study looks at how certain brain “inhibitory” signals work in teenagers and young adults who have depression and either suicide thoughts or past suicide behavior. The goal is to better understand suicide risk and what might help reduce it, using brain and brainwave testing.
This study tests whether adding an experimental medication to a newer type of TMS brain stimulation can improve depression symptoms. It aims to find a new treatment option for people who haven't fully responded to standard care.
This early-stage study tests a type of magnetic brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation combined with study medications to help treat moderate to severe depression. Researchers want to understand how this combination affects brain communication and may help reduce depressive symptoms.
This trial tests a faster version of a brain stimulation treatment called intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) for teenagers with depression. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain and may help improve mood when medication alone isn't enough.
