Study of accelerated brain stimulation for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests an accelerated form of TMS (a treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain) for people with severe depression who have recently been in a psychiatric hospital. It aims to see if a faster schedule of TMS can help improve symptoms quickly.
This study tests a faster version of TMS (called iTBS) to treat depression, while using a special headband to monitor brain blood flow in real time. It's for people whose depression hasn't gotten better with at least one antidepressant medication.
This study tests a new, personalized form of brain stimulation (called TMS) using MRI scans to target the right areas for people whose depression hasn't improved with medication. It aims to see if this tailored approach works better than standard TMS.
This study tests whether intermittent theta burst stimulation (a type of brain stimulation using a magnetic device) can help keep depression from coming back after it has improved. It focuses on people whose depression has responded to an earlier iTBS treatment and who are able to safely receive TMS.
This trial tests whether two types of non-invasive brain stimulation can quickly improve depression symptoms. It may be an option for adults with major depression who are not currently taking psychiatric medication.
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.
