TMS for depression: comparing two brain stimulation methods
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see which works better for people with depression. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood regulation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial is testing a type of brain stimulation therapy called theta-burst rTMS to see if it helps with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It also uses brain scans to predict who might respond best.
This trial tests a newer type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy) to treat depression that hasn't improved with antidepressant medications. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for adults with treatment-resistant depression and teenagers with moderate-to-severe depression.
This study looks at how well the benefits of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) last over time for people with depression that didn't get better with other treatments. It also uses brain scans to find markers that might predict who will keep doing well.
This study compares two types of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat depression. One type uses a brain scan (fMRI) to guide the treatment, while the other uses a standard approach. It may help people whose depression hasn't improved with medication.
This trial tests if using brain imaging to guide the placement of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) works better than the usual scalp-based targeting method for adults with treatment-resistant depression.
This trial tests two different ways of delivering transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see which works better for people with depression that hasn't improved with medication.
