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 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 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 trial uses a brain scan technique (EEG) to guide a treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for people with major depressive disorder. It aims to see if personalizing the treatment based on brain activity can help improve depression symptoms.
This trial uses a technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (a gentle magnetic pulse) to see if activating a specific brain area helps people with depression feel more positive emotions. It involves brain imaging and memory tasks.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) in people with major depression who did not respond to antidepressant medicines. It may help some participants improve depression symptoms over time.
