Brain stimulation for depressed female athletes with concussion
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, which may help improve mood and concussion symptoms. It is designed for female athletes who have both depression and a recent concussion.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a female athlete, either recreational or professional
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have had a concussion at least 72 hours ago and still have symptoms
- You have moderate or severe depression (score of 10 or higher on a depression questionnaire)
- You have taken or are currently taking an antidepressant for at least 6 weeks

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 early-stage study tests a type of magnetic brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation combined with study medications to help treat moderate to severe depression. Researchers want to understand how this combination affects brain communication and may help reduce depressive symptoms.
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (called iTBS) to see if it can help young women with depression. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to target brain areas involved in mood, and the study also uses MRI scans to track changes in the brain. You may receive this treatment in addition to your usual care.
This study tests whether adding an experimental medication to a newer type of TMS brain stimulation can improve depression symptoms. It aims to find a new treatment option for people who haven't fully responded to standard care.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the head can help people with major depression. It's for adults currently in a depressive episode who haven't found relief from at least two previous antidepressants.
This study tests a treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood. It aims to see if TMS can help people with depression by improving how they cope with stress and daily functioning.
