Brain Stimulation Treatment for Depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a new non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial temporal interference stimulation to treat major depression. The goal is to see if this method can safely reduce depression symptoms in adults.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with major depression by two independent psychiatrists
- Moderate to severe depression symptoms (HAMD-24 score above 20)
- Between 18 and 65 years old
- Right-handed
- No history of epilepsy, brain tumors, or serious head injuries
- No metal implants in your head or body that would interfere with brain stimulation

This trial uses a brain scan technique (EEG) to guide a treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for people with major depressive disorder. It aims to see if personalizing the treatment based on brain activity can help improve depression symptoms.
This study uses a special type of brain stimulation (rTMS, which uses magnetic pulses) to treat depression. It focuses on part of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex and aims to understand how stimulating it helps improve mood.
This trial tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique for people with major depressive disorder who still have some symptoms. It may help improve mood without medication side effects.
This trial tests if using brain imaging to guide the placement of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) works better than the usual scalp-based targeting method for adults with treatment-resistant depression.
This trial tests if a gentle electrical current applied to the head at home can help reduce symptoms of major depression. You would use a device for short sessions over several weeks, while continuing your usual care.
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.
