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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must have moderate depression, as measured by a standard questionnaire (PHQ-9).

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 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 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 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 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.
