Personalized magnetic brain therapy for hard to treat depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to use magnetic brain stimulation tailored to each patient to treat depression that hasn't improved with at least two different medications. It may help people who are still struggling with moderate to severe depression.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Age 18 to 95 years old

This study tests a noninvasive treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in depression. It is for adults with major depression that hasn't improved with medication.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment for older adults with depression and some memory or thinking issues. The goal is to see if this magnetic stimulation can safely improve mood, and it is guided by brain imaging.
This trial tests a new form of brain stimulation called iTBS (a type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) that is personalized for each person, compared to a sham (inactive) treatment. It aims to see if this personalized approach can safely reduce symptoms of depression.
This study tests a new way to use magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to treat depression and anxiety that haven't improved with medication. The treatment is personalized based on your brain scans, which may make it more effective.
This study tests a specialized type of magnetic brain stimulation (spectral TMS) to treat severe major depression when standard treatments haven’t worked. You may be eligible if you’ve tried several antidepressants and other add-on treatments but still have symptoms.
This study compares two types of magnetic brain stimulation (called theta burst stimulation) for people with depression that hasn't improved with medication. The treatment is non-invasive and aims to help relieve symptoms.
