Attention training for depression using eye-tracking
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a computer-based attention training that uses eye-tracking to help people with major depressive disorder. It may improve how you focus on positive information and reduce depression symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a brain training technique called neurofeedback can help treat depression. By showing your brain activity in real time on a screen, you may learn to control the brain patterns linked to depression and feel better.
This trial uses a powerful MRI scanner to give you real-time feedback on brain activity linked to depression. You will learn to regulate that activity, which may reduce symptoms.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain training technique called neurofeedback can help people with major depression improve how they manage emotions. You participate by doing computer tasks while your brain activity is measured and shown back to you, teaching you to regulate your emotions better.
This trial uses a brain scan technique (EEG) to guide a treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for people with major depressive disorder. It aims to see if personalizing the treatment based on brain activity can help improve depression symptoms.
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 if a gentle electrical current applied to the head at home can help reduce symptoms of major depression. You would use a device for short sessions over several weeks, while continuing your usual care.
