Comparing different types of TMS for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests two different ways of delivering transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see which works better for people with depression that hasn't improved with medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have major depression (without psychosis) and are not currently on an antidepressant
- At least two different antidepressants have not worked for you
- Your depression is moderate to severe, as measured by a standard scale
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- You are right-handed
- You have no other major mental health conditions like schizophrenia or substance dependence

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two fast types of brain stimulation (called accelerated theta burst stimulation) to see which works better for people whose depression hasn't improved with standard antidepressants. It's designed for people with treatment-resistant depression who are already on a stable antidepressant.
This trial tests whether repeated magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) can help people with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatment. Participants must be taking a specific antidepressant and be right-handed.
This trial tests if using brain imaging to guide the placement of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) works better than the usual scalp-based targeting method for adults with treatment-resistant depression.
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 compares two types of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see which works better for people with depression. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood regulation.
