Brain stimulation for depression with imaging
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You have a diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD) and have not improved after at least one antidepressant trial.
- Your depression severity score is at least 18 on a standard scale.
- You have been on a stable treatment (medication, therapy, or none) for at least 4 weeks before starting.
- You are free of certain conditions like epilepsy, metal implants, or recent substance abuse.
- You have not had a suicide attempt in the past 3 months and have no active suicidal intent.

This study compares two types of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to treat depression. One type uses a brain scan (fMRI) to guide the treatment, while the other uses a standard approach. It may help people whose depression hasn't improved with medication.
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.
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 trial is testing a type of brain stimulation therapy called theta-burst rTMS to see if it helps with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It also uses brain scans to predict who might respond best.
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 a noninvasive treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in depression. It is for adults with major depression that hasn't improved with medication.
