Brain stimulation for depression in young people
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can help treat depression in people aged 15 to 25. It involves a quick, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to the head, and researchers want to see how it affects thinking and mood.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 15 and 25 years old
- You have mild to severe symptoms of depression
- You can speak English
- You have never had TMS treatment before
- You are not currently in a severe suicidal crisis or have a serious medical condition that would interfere
- You do not have metal in your body (like from surgery or piercings) and do not have braces or permanent retainers

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.
This trial tests a new way to use magnetic pulses to target specific brain areas linked to depression. It aims to improve mood by stimulating a circuit that may be overactive in people with major depression.
This study uses brain scans and magnetic stimulation to understand depression. It is testing how the brain responds to treatment and may help find better ways to treat depression.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS) in young people (ages 13-20) with depression who have not tried many treatments before. The goal is to see if this treatment can safely help reduce depression symptoms.
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 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.
