Brain stimulation for adults with depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment approach for adults with depression. It may help improve symptoms by using a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) in people with major depression who did not respond to antidepressant medicines. It may help some participants improve depression symptoms over time.
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 study looks at brain wave patterns in people with depression who are receiving a type of brain stimulation called rTMS. It aims to understand how the brain changes during recovery, which may help improve future treatments.
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 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.
