Brain stimulation for cognitive flexibility in depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether a brain stimulation called rTMS can improve cognitive flexibility (thinking and adapting) in people with major depression. If you are between 18 and 45 years old, Han Chinese, right-handed, and have moderate to severe depression, you may be able to join.

This study compares two types of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat depression. One type uses a brain scan (fMRI) to guide the treatment, while the other uses a standard approach. It may help people whose depression hasn't improved with medication.
This study tests how a specific kind of brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) works for people with depression that has not responded to standard treatments. If you qualify, it may help doctors understand the mechanism and improve options for treatment-resistant depression.
This study uses brain imaging and stimulation to help people with depression learn how to regulate their emotions better. It aims to find out if targeting specific brain networks can improve symptoms.
This study tests whether combining two treatments—magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) and a computer program that helps retrain thought patterns—can reduce depression symptoms. You'll receive these treatments either together or one after the other to see which approach works best.
This trial tests whether a non-surgical brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can reduce depression symptoms in adults with major depression. You would likely have several study visits that include brain scans (MRI) and treatment sessions to see if symptoms improve.
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.
