TMS with 8-Coil vs H1-Coil for depression
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of TMS (brain stimulation) coils to treat depression that hasn't improved with at least two medications. The study aims to see which coil works better for resistant depression.

This study tests whether a classic type of brain stimulation (rTMS) works better or the same as a deeper version for depression that keeps coming back or is ongoing. You may be offered one of the two stimulation options to see which helps reduce depressive symptoms.
This study tests a new, faster brain stimulation method for depression in adults aged 60-85 who haven't improved with medication. The treatment targets a part of the brain linked to mood and may offer relief for those who have not found other treatments effective.
This trial tests two different ways of delivering transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see which works better for people with depression that hasn't improved with medication.
This study compares two fast types of brain stimulation (called accelerated theta burst stimulation) to see which works better for people whose depression hasn't improved with standard antidepressants. It's designed for people with treatment-resistant depression who are already on a stable antidepressant.
This trial tests a new type of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for people with severe depression that hasn't improved with multiple medications or therapy. It uses a different frequency pattern to target brain circuits.
This trial tests if a new type of brain stimulation called DTMS can safely help adolescents with major depression. It may be an option if you have tried other treatments and are looking for a non-medication approach.
