Sleep TMS for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), given during sleep, can improve depression. It's for adults who have not gotten enough relief from antidepressant medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with major depression (clinical depression) that is currently moderate to severe.
- You have tried at least one antidepressant medication that didn't fully help.
- You have been on a stable dose of your current antidepressant for at least 6 weeks.
- You do not have any metal implants, pacemaker, or other reasons that make MRI or TMS unsafe for you.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant, and do not have active thoughts of suicide or substance use problems.

This study tests if a type of brain stimulation (TMS) can improve brain function in people with depression. It also includes a small group of epilepsy patients who are already having brain monitoring. The goal is to find new ways to treat depression by targeting specific brain areas.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique called TMS can help people with depression, anxiety, OCD, or schizophrenia. It aims to find better ways to target the treatment for each person's specific needs.
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 brain scans or electrical signals can predict who will get better with TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for depression. It is for people whose depression did not improve after trying two or more antidepressants.
This trial tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can reduce depression symptoms in adults with major depression. You would likely have several study visits that include brain scans (MRI) and treatment sessions to see if symptoms improve.
This study tests an in-hospital brain stimulation treatment (TMS) for people with moderate to severe depression who did not improve after multiple antidepressant treatments. It may help your mood by targeting brain circuits involved in depression, and you would follow an intensive accelerated schedule.
