Brain responses in depression and autism with TMS and EEG
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain stimulation (TMS) and brain wave recording (EEG) to understand how the brain works in people with autism, depression, or both. It may help find better ways to treat these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 50 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with autism, depression, or both (or you are a healthy volunteer without these conditions).
- Your IQ is above 70 and you can take care of yourself.
- If you have depression, you must not have taken antidepressants for at least one week before the study.
- You do not have other major mental health conditions like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or ADHD.
- You do not have metal implants in your head or neck, a pacemaker, or a history of brain surgery.
- You are not pregnant and do not have severe suicidal thoughts.
- You are not claustrophobic and can have MRI and PET scans.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
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.
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 whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique can help adults with autism. It's a safe procedure that uses magnetic pulses to gently activate a part of the brain.
