The treatment is called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood.
This study looks at treatment response markers (signs in the body) in people with major depressive disorder (MDD). It may help researchers understand who is more likely to benefit from antidepressant treatment.
