Meditative neurofeedback for depression
Part of Digestive system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a technique that combines meditation with real-time brain activity feedback can help treat depression. It may help if you have moderate depression and are not currently struggling with substance abuse, psychosis, bipolar disorder, or suicidal behavior.

This study combines mindfulness practice with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—to help people with depression that hasn't improved with antidepressant medications. The goal is to see if adding mindfulness to TMS improves how well the treatment works.
This trial uses a powerful MRI scanner to give you real-time feedback on brain activity linked to depression. You will learn to regulate that activity, which may reduce symptoms.
This early-phase trial tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help reduce depression symptoms. It is for adults with major depression who are not at high risk for suicide or addiction.
This study tests whether a brain training technique called neurofeedback can help treat depression. By showing your brain activity in real time on a screen, you may learn to control the brain patterns linked to depression and feel better.
This trial tests whether using real-time brain scan feedback (fMRI neurofeedback) can help reduce depressive symptoms. You may be eligible if you have depression that is still active despite being on antidepressant medicine.
This study tests whether real-time brain imaging (fMRI) can help people with depression learn to change their brain activity. You will receive feedback on your brain signals while thinking positive or neutral thoughts.
