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.
