Brain and emotion study for young adults with or without depression history
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how the brain regulates mood and body signals in young adults ages 18-27. It includes people who have had depression in the past but are now well, as well as healthy volunteers with no psychiatric history.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 27 years old.
- If you have had depression before, you must be in full remission (no major symptoms) for at least 8 weeks.
- You cannot have a current eating disorder, substance use disorder in the past 6 months, or autism.
- You must not have metal in your body, claustrophobia, or a heart device (due to MRI and ECG safety).
- You cannot be pregnant.
- Your medication must have been stable for at least 30 days.

This trial studies a way to change how excitable the brain is (through in-person brain stimulation) in people with major depression. It may help understand new treatments or symptom patterns that could be useful for major depression.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain-computer interface (BCI) to help people with depression. It may be a good fit for teenagers and adults who are right-handed, Han Chinese, and have moderate to severe depression without other major health problems.
This trial tests a type of brain training called amygdala neurofeedback to reduce depression symptoms. It may help by teaching your brain patterns to become less “stuck” in depression-related activity.
This study uses brain imaging (MRI) and a brain-stimulation method (TMS) to understand and possibly change brain patterns linked with low mood. You may be eligible if you have moderate to severe depression symptoms and can safely complete the scans and stimulation sessions.
This study uses brain imaging and stimulation to help people with depression learn how to regulate their emotions better. It aims to find out if targeting specific brain networks can improve symptoms.
This study uses brain scans and short real-life mood/stress check-ins to understand how stress and perceived control work in teens with depression. It may help researchers better pinpoint brain patterns linked to depression and how teens experience control during stressful moments.
