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 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 is testing whether brain and heart signals can help predict who will respond to rTMS, a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate parts of the brain. You would receive rTMS for depression and undergo MRI scans and heart monitoring to see if certain patterns predict improvement.
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 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 trial tests an alternating combination of brain stimulation and brain imaging to see if it helps people with depression that hasn’t improved with usual treatments. The goal is to find a safer, more effective approach for people whose depression has been very difficult to treat.
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.
