Faster TMS for depression during pregnancy or after childbirth
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a faster form of TMS (brain stimulation) for people with depression who are pregnant (14-34 weeks) or within one year of giving birth. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and well-tolerated.

This trial studies an intensive form of noninvasive brain stimulation (treatments given through the scalp) for postpartum depression. It aims to reduce depression symptoms and improve wellbeing in people who are at least 18 and have moderate symptoms.
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.
This study compares two different speeds of a brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for people with major depression. The goal is to see if a faster version works just as well as the standard one, potentially making treatment quicker and easier.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation technique called TMS can help people with depression, anxiety, OCD, or schizophrenia. It aims to find better ways to target the treatment for each person's specific needs.
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 trial tests a special type of TMS (brain stimulation) called SAINT for severe depression that started around childbirth. It may help new mothers who are still within a year postpartum and have not found relief from other treatments.
