Brain stimulation for depression in young women
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (called iTBS) to see if it can help young women with depression. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to target brain areas involved in mood, and the study also uses MRI scans to track changes in the brain. You may receive this treatment in addition to your usual care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a faster version of a brain stimulation treatment called intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) for teenagers with depression. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain and may help improve mood when medication alone isn't enough.
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 new type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for young people ages 15-25 who are having serious depression and suicidal thoughts. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce risk and improve mood.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS) in young people (ages 13-20) with depression who have not tried many treatments before. The goal is to see if this treatment can safely help reduce depression symptoms.
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 non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called transcranial temporal interference stimulation (tTIS) for teenagers with depression. It aims to see if this treatment can safely reduce depression symptoms without the need for surgery or medication changes.
