Brain stimulation for loss of interest in depression
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation method (called kTMP) to see if it can improve anhedonia, which is the loss of interest or pleasure in things you used to enjoy. It is for people with depression who have significant anhedonia.
