Rapid-acting magnetic brain stimulation for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of magnetic brain stimulation (called TMS) for depression. It uses a sham (fake) treatment as a comparison to see if the rapid-acting version is effective and safe.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with major depression (MDD).
- You are able to speak and understand English.
- You are not currently taking benzodiazepines or other medications that might interfere with the treatment (your doctor will review).
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant during the study.
- You do not have any metal implants, pacemaker, or other conditions that would make brain stimulation or MRI unsafe.

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 new type of magnetic brain stimulation (called theta burst stimulation) for people whose depression hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective for both adults and teenagers with moderate to severe depression.
This study tests whether low-intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation can help treat major depressive disorder and looks at how it affects certain brain chemicals. It's for people currently getting depression treatment who are not pregnant and have no metal implants or certain health conditions.
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.
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.
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.
