New brain stimulation for depression using task-based TI
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called temporal interference (TI) that uses weak electrical fields to target depression. It is for people who are not currently on medication or have been off antidepressants for at least 2 weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses non-invasive brain stimulation (like TMS) and EEG brain recordings to measure how the brain’s “reward” system works in people with major depression. It may help researchers understand which stimulation approaches best affect depression-related reward processing.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (TIS) for teenagers aged 12–22 with depression who injure themselves without wanting to die. The goal is to reduce depression symptoms and self-injury urges.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation (guided iTBS) to improve depression when standard antidepressant treatments haven’t helped. It also checks that the treatment is safe for people who can meet the study and scan safety requirements.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation to see if it can safely and effectively improve symptoms of bipolar depression. It may be an option for people who are not taking medication or who are willing to stop their current medication for a short time.
This trial tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation to treat major depression. The goal is to see if this method can safely reduce depression symptoms in adults.
