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.
Who can take part
- Age 18 to 95 years old

This study combines mindfulness practice with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)—a non-invasive brain stimulation technique—to help people with depression that hasn't improved with antidepressant medications. The goal is to see if adding mindfulness to TMS improves how well the treatment works.
This trial studies signs in the brain (biomarkers) during an accelerated form of nerve stimulation to treat depression that hasn’t improved with usual antidepressants. It may help researchers learn who benefits and how to better personalize treatment.
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 trial is testing a non-invasive treatment that uses safe magnetic pulses to stimulate specific parts of the brain in teens with moderate to severe depression. The goal is to see if this can help improve mood without medication changes.
This trial tests an “accelerated” form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to reduce symptoms of depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). You may be considered if standard treatments didn’t help (or you couldn’t tolerate them), and if it’s safe for you to receive TMS.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if it can improve mood in people with bipolar disorder who are currently experiencing depression. It aims to understand how the brain's mood circuits work.
