Brain stimulation for depression and substance use disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (called transcranial magnetic stimulation) for people who have both depression and substance use disorder. The treatment may help reduce depression symptoms and could also help with substance use.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat depression. It may help reduce depressive symptoms for people who have not found relief from other treatments.
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 whether brain stimulation can help with both depression and opioid cravings in people who are already taking buprenorphine for opioid addiction. It may offer an extra tool to improve your mood and reduce cravings.
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 is testing a type of brain stimulation therapy called theta-burst rTMS to see if it helps with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It also uses brain scans to predict who might respond best.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation (TBS) for depression. It uses advanced imaging to see how the brain responds, which may help tailor treatment.
