Brain Stimulation and Thinking Pattern Training for Depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether combining two treatments—magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) and a computer program that helps retrain thought patterns—can reduce depression symptoms. You'll receive these treatments either together or one after the other to see which approach works best.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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.
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 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.
