Brain stimulation for depression and suicide risk in young people
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for young people ages 15-25 who are having serious depression and suicidal thoughts. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce risk and improve mood.

This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can help teens with moderate to severe depression feel better. It involves wearing a special magnetic coil on the head during several sessions.
This study looks at how certain brain “inhibitory” signals work in teenagers and young adults who have depression and either suicide thoughts or past suicide behavior. The goal is to better understand suicide risk and what might help reduce it, using brain and brainwave testing.
This study tests whether stimulating the brain on both sides at once versus one side can reduce suicidal thoughts in people with treatment-resistant depression. It also looks at brain “inhibition” signals to help predict who benefits.
This study tests a treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood. It aims to see if TMS can help people with depression by improving how they cope with stress and daily functioning.
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 uses brain imaging to guide a noninvasive treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for people with depression. It aims to see if tailoring the stimulation to each person's brain can improve symptoms.
