Deep TMS for depression in teens
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can help teens with moderate to severe depression feel better. It involves wearing a special magnetic coil on the head during several sessions.

This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for young people ages 15-25 who are having serious depression and suicidal thoughts. The goal is to see if this treatment can help reduce risk and improve mood.
This trial tests if using brain imaging to guide the placement of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) works better than the usual scalp-based targeting method for adults with treatment-resistant depression.
This trial tests an accelerated form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for people with treatment-resistant depression who have been referred for ECT. It aims to offer a non-invasive, less intensive alternative with fewer side effects.
This trial tests if a new type of brain stimulation called DTMS can safely help adolescents with major depression. It may be an option if you have tried other treatments and are looking for a non-medication approach.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation called tTIS to see if it can help teenagers with depression. It uses gentle electrical pulses to target areas of the brain linked to mood, without surgery or medication.
This study tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can help reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression in children and teens. It involves sessions where a magnetic field is used to gently stimulate parts of the brain, and is designed for young people aged 6 to 18 who have been diagnosed with these conditions.
