TMS treatment for depression in female athletes after concussion
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (TMS) combined with a medicine (d-cycloserine) to treat depression in female athletes who have also had a concussion. It aims to see if this combination can improve mood and brain function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a new type of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for people with severe depression that hasn't improved with multiple medications or therapy. It uses a different frequency pattern to target brain circuits.
This study tests whether a combination of brain stimulation and cognitive training can reduce depression symptoms in people who have ongoing mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help by targeting both mood and thinking/processing skills affected after mTBI.
This trial tests whether personalized brain stimulation can help people who have ongoing symptoms more than 20 on a standard concussion scale, such as headaches, dizziness, or trouble concentrating, after a mild head injury in the past year.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation (called iTBS) to see if it can help improve depression symptoms in young women assigned female at birth, ages 16 to 24. The goal is to understand how the treatment affects the brain's ability to change and adapt.
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 study tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation combined with study medications to see if it can help treat major depression. Researchers want to understand how this treatment works in the brain and whether it might be more effective than current treatments.
