Low-Intensity Magnetic Stimulation for Major Depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether low-intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation can help treat major depressive disorder and looks at how it affects certain brain chemicals. It's for people currently getting depression treatment who are not pregnant and have no metal implants or certain health conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new type of magnetic brain stimulation (called TMS) for depression. It uses a sham (fake) treatment as a comparison to see if the rapid-acting version is effective and safe.
This study uses brain imaging to guide a noninvasive treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for people with depression. It aims to see if tailoring the stimulation to each person's brain can improve symptoms.
This trial tests a new way to use magnetic pulses to target specific brain areas linked to depression. It aims to improve mood by stimulating a circuit that may be overactive in people with major depression.
This study tests a new type of magnetic brain stimulation (called theta burst stimulation) for people whose depression hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for both adults and teenagers with moderate to severe depression.
This study tests a treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood. It aims to see if TMS can help people with depression by improving how they cope with stress and daily functioning.
This study tests a noninvasive treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in depression. It is for adults with major depression that hasn't improved with medication.
