Brain stimulation for sleep and fatigue in depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have moderate or severe depression (without psychosis).
- You have been diagnosed with major depression or bipolar disorder.

This study tests a type of brain stimulation (theta-burst TMS) to see if it helps improve depression in people with bipolar disorder. It might be a good option if you have tried medication but still feel depressed.
This study tests a safe, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS to see if it can help people with bipolar disorder better manage their emotions during a depressive episode. It may offer a new option for those who are still feeling depressed despite stable medication.
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.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for people with depression that hasn't improved with at least two antidepressants. Researchers want to see if a faster version of TMS (theta-burst stimulation) helps reduce depression symptoms.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called iTBS can improve depression and thinking skills. It uses a magnetic coil over the scalp and is done on multiple days.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) to see if improving sleep can help reduce depression symptoms. You'll do short stimulation sessions at home and track your sleep and mood.
