Brain stimulation for depression using EEG guidance
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 16 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD).
- You are currently taking only one antidepressant and are willing to keep the dose stable during the study.
- Your depression score on a standard rating scale is 20 or higher.
- You have enough hearing and reading ability to follow the study procedures.
- You do not have any metal implants in your head or neck, and no history of seizures or head injury.

This trial tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation to treat major depression. The goal is to see if this method can safely reduce depression symptoms in adults.
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 if using brain imaging to guide the placement of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) works better than the usual scalp-based targeting method for adults with treatment-resistant depression.
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 study looks at brain wave patterns in people with depression who are receiving a type of brain stimulation called rTMS. It aims to understand how the brain changes during recovery, which may help improve future treatments.
This trial tests a new way to use magnetic stimulation (TMS) to treat depression by targeting a specific brain circuit. It aims to be more precise and may help people whose current treatment hasn't worked well enough.
