Testing brain stimulation for depression and related symptoms
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment for people with depression or related symptoms that haven't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see how well it works in real-world settings.

This trial tests a faster version of a brain stimulation treatment called TMS for people with depression. The goal is to see how well it works and how tolerable it is.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation (guided iTBS) to improve depression when standard antidepressant treatments haven’t helped. It also checks that the treatment is safe for people who can meet the study and scan safety requirements.
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 study is testing whether a new type of brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) can help people with treatment-resistant depression (depression that hasn't improved with standard medicines). It also looks at certain blood markers to see if they can predict how well someone will respond to this treatment.
This study tests a new way to use magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to treat depression and anxiety that haven't improved with medication. The treatment is personalized based on your brain scans, which may make it more effective.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation called theta-burst stimulation to see if it helps treat depression. It is for people aged 18-50 who are currently experiencing a major depressive episode and are on a stable antidepressant regimen.
