Brain stimulation for depression, sleep and memory problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called rTMS) to help with depression, sleep problems, and memory or concentration issues. It's designed for people with moderate to severe depression who also have trouble sleeping and thinking clearly.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate or severe depression without psychotic symptoms (like hallucinations or delusions)
- You have significant trouble sleeping (like difficulty falling or staying asleep)
- You have noticed problems with memory or concentration that started around the same time as your depression
- You do not have any metal in your head, are not pregnant, and do not have epilepsy (reasons for brain stimulation safety)
- You have not had suicidal thoughts or attempts in the last 3 months

This study tests a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment (theta burst stimulation) to see if it can improve sleep, reduce daytime sleepiness, and ease fatigue in people with depression.
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 study uses a special type of brain stimulation (rTMS, which uses magnetic pulses) to treat depression. It focuses on part of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex and aims to understand how stimulating it helps improve mood.
This study tests a new type of magnetic brain stimulation (called theta burst stimulation) for people whose depression hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for both adults and teenagers with moderate to severe depression.
This trial tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation that uses gentle electrical fields to target areas of the brain linked to mood. It aims to help people with moderate to severe depression who haven't responded well to other treatments.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment for people with major depression who still have symptoms despite treatment. It aims to see if this approach can help improve mood and reduce residual symptoms.
