Brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial is testing a type of brain stimulation therapy called theta-burst rTMS to see if it helps with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It also uses brain scans to predict who might respond best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of depression.
- You are 18 years old or older.

- You do not have serious memory or thinking problems.
- You have not had a head injury that caused unconsciousness for more than 1 hour.
- You have not had alcohol or drug abuse in the past 3 months.

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 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 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 trial compares two types of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see which works better for people with depression. TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood regulation.
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 trial tests a new type of brain stimulation treatment for people with major depression that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to target specific brain areas over about 2 weeks.
