Real-time brain feedback for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial uses a powerful MRI scanner to give you real-time feedback on brain activity linked to depression. You will learn to regulate that activity, which may reduce symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with major depression and are currently in a depressive episode.
- You understand English well enough to complete the study procedures.
- You do not have a history of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or a serious thinking or memory problem.
- You have not had an alcohol or drug use problem in the past year.
- You are not pregnant, and you have no metal in your body that would prevent an MRI scan.

This study tests whether a brain training technique called neurofeedback can help treat depression. By showing your brain activity in real time on a screen, you may learn to control the brain patterns linked to depression and feel better.
This trial tests a new form of brain stimulation called iTBS (a type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) that is personalized for each person, compared to a sham (inactive) treatment. It aims to see if this personalized approach can safely reduce symptoms of depression.
This trial tests a new way of delivering a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called iTBS for depression. The treatment is personalized based on brain scans, and the study aims to see if it can help reduce depressive symptoms.
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 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 new type of non-invasive brain stimulation that uses gentle electrical fields to target areas of the brain linked to mood. It aims to help people with moderate to severe depression who haven't responded well to other treatments.
