Brain stimulation for anxiety and depression in youth
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression in children and teens. It involves sessions where a magnetic field is used to gently stimulate parts of the brain, and is designed for young people aged 6 to 18 who have been diagnosed with these conditions.

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 new way to use magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to treat anxiety that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if targeting specific brain connections can reduce anxiety symptoms.
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.
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 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 compares two types of non-invasive brain stimulation (using magnetic pulses) to see which works better for teenagers with depression. It aims to find a safe, effective treatment that may help improve mood without medication.
