Brain stimulation study for depression treatment
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation called theta-burst stimulation to see if it helps treat depression. It is for people aged 18-50 who are currently experiencing a major depressive episode and are on a stable antidepressant regimen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You are currently in a major depressive episode (a period of significant depression).
- You have been on a stable dose of your antidepressant for at least 4 weeks (if you take one).

This trial tests a new way of delivering a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called iTBS for depression. The treatment is personalized based on brain scans, and the study aims to see if it can help reduce depressive symptoms.
This trial tests a new form of brain stimulation called iTBS (a type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) that is personalized for each person, compared to a sham (inactive) treatment. It aims to see if this personalized approach can safely reduce symptoms of depression.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation (TBS) for depression. It uses advanced imaging to see how the brain responds, which may help tailor treatment.
This study tests a new type of magnetic brain stimulation (called theta burst stimulation) for people whose depression hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for both adults and teenagers with moderate to severe depression.
This trial tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation that uses gentle electrical fields to target areas of the brain linked to mood. It aims to help people with moderate to severe depression who haven't responded well to other treatments.
This study tests an accelerated form of iTBS (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) for depression that hasn't improved with antidepressant medications. The goal is to help people with major depression who haven't responded adequately to at least one antidepressant drug.
