Brain stimulation for pleasure loss in teen depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation, can help teenagers with depression who have lost interest or pleasure in things they used to enjoy.

This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can help treat depression in people aged 15 to 25. It involves a quick, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to the head, and researchers want to see how it affects thinking and mood.
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.
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression in children and teens. It involves sessions where a magnetic field is used to gently stimulate parts of the brain, and is designed for young people aged 6 to 18 who have been diagnosed with these conditions.
This study compares two types of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat depression. One type uses a brain scan (fMRI) to guide the treatment, while the other uses a standard approach. It may help people whose depression hasn't improved with medication.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help teens with depression who haven't gotten enough relief from therapy or medication. It's designed for youth who are currently in the hospital or planning to be admitted.
This study tests whether a type of brain stimulation called rTMS, guided by an MRI scan, can safely help ease depression symptoms in teenagers. You would continue your regular medication during the study.
