Brain stimulation for depression symptoms
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment for people with major depression who still have symptoms despite treatment. It aims to see if this approach can help improve mood and reduce residual symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You still have some depression symptoms (a score above 7 on a standard depression scale).
- You do not have other serious neurological or psychiatric conditions.

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 uses a special type of brain stimulation (rTMS, which uses magnetic pulses) to treat depression. It focuses on part of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex and aims to understand how stimulating it helps improve mood.
This trial tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation that uses gentle electrical fields to target areas of the brain linked to mood. It aims to help people with moderate to severe depression who haven't responded well to other treatments.
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 study tests a new type of brain stimulation that uses gentle electrical fields to target the area of the brain linked to emotions. It may help reduce depression symptoms without the side effects of medications.
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.
