Precision brain stimulation for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to use magnetic pulses to target specific brain areas linked to depression. It aims to improve mood by stimulating a circuit that may be overactive in people with major depression.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder (also called clinical depression).
- Your depression is moderate to severe, as measured by a standard questionnaire.
- Your current medication or talk therapy has been stable for at least 4 weeks before the study starts.
- You do not have serious medical conditions, neurological problems, or metal implants that would make the treatment unsafe.

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 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 study uses brain scans and magnetic stimulation to understand depression. It is testing how the brain responds to treatment and may help find better ways to treat depression.
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can help treat depression in people aged 15 to 25. It involves a quick, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to the head, and researchers want to see how it affects thinking and mood.
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 compares different ways of targeting magnetic stimulation for depression treatment. It aims to see if using MRI-based targeting improves outcomes compared to standard methods, potentially leading to more effective and personalized treatment for people with depression.
