Maintenance rTMS for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether ongoing rTMS treatments can help people who already improved after an initial round of rTMS for depression. It aims to keep the benefits going and prevent relapse.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have had depression and received at least 15 sessions of rTMS that helped you improve.
- You must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You cannot be pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.
- You should not have certain other conditions like psychosis, severe personality disorder, or recent use of other depression treatments like ketamine.
- You must be in generally good health and able to follow study procedures.
- You cannot have major suicidal thoughts or recent head trauma or seizures.

This study tests an in-hospital brain stimulation treatment (TMS) for people with moderate to severe depression who did not improve after multiple antidepressant treatments. It may help your mood by targeting brain circuits involved in depression, and you would follow an intensive accelerated schedule.
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 study looks at brain and heart-related measurements to predict who is most likely to improve with rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) for depression. It may help future patients by identifying markers of treatment response.
This trial tests whether using brain-related “biomarkers” from your scans to guide rTMS can improve depression that hasn’t responded to at least one antidepressant. It may help by targeting brain circuits linked to depression more precisely.
This study tests a new type of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for adults whose depression hasn't gotten better with medication. It compares the real treatment to a sham (inactive) version to see how well it works.
This trial tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can reduce depression symptoms in adults with major depression. You would likely have several study visits that include brain scans (MRI) and treatment sessions to see if symptoms improve.
