Temporal interference stimulation for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method called temporal interference stimulation (TI) that uses weak electrical fields to target mood-related areas. It aims to see if this method is safe and effective for treating depression, especially for people not currently on medication.
