Cognitive training trial for mild depression with brain scans
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a computer-based cognitive training program (bWell-D) to see if it can improve thinking skills like memory and focus in people with mild depression. You will also have an MRI brain scan to see how the training affects your brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 19 and 55 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and your symptoms are currently mild (not severe).
- You have trouble with focus, memory, or thinking (brain fog) that bothers you.
- You are not pregnant, have no metal in your body, and no electronic implants (like a pacemaker) because this trial involves an MRI brain scan.
- If you take antidepressants, you have been on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks.

This trial tests a new type of brain training (self-neuromodulation) to help people with major depression who also have a significant loss of interest or pleasure (anhedonia). If you qualify, you may get a non-invasive treatment that uses real-time brain feedback to improve symptoms.
This study looks at changes in depression “markers” to understand what treatments help and why. You’ll have non-invasive brain stimulation and scans before and after treatment, over about 8 weeks.
This trial tests if a medication can boost the effects of cognitive training in people with bipolar disorder or recurrent depression who have memory or thinking problems. It aims to improve daily functioning.
This trial tests a computer-based brain training program designed to change how you pay attention to emotional information. It may help reduce depression symptoms by training your brain to focus less on negative cues.
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 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.
