Brain training for emotion control in depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain training technique called neurofeedback can help people with major depression improve how they manage emotions. You participate by doing computer tasks while your brain activity is measured and shown back to you, teaching you to regulate your emotions better.

This study tests whether a brain training technique called neurofeedback can help treat depression. By showing your brain activity in real time on a screen, you may learn to control the brain patterns linked to depression and feel better.
This trial uses a powerful MRI scanner to give you real-time feedback on brain activity linked to depression. You will learn to regulate that activity, which may reduce symptoms.
This trial tests a type of brain training called amygdala neurofeedback to reduce depression symptoms. It may help by teaching your brain patterns to become less “stuck” in depression-related activity.
This early-phase trial tests whether a brain-training technique called neurofeedback can help reduce depression symptoms. It is for adults with major depression who are not at high risk for suicide or addiction.
This trial tests whether using real-time brain scan feedback (fMRI neurofeedback) can help reduce depressive symptoms. You may be eligible if you have depression that is still active despite being on antidepressant medicine.
This trial tests a computer-based brain training program designed to change how you pay attention to emotional information. It may help reduce depression symptoms by training your brain to focus less on negative cues.
