Comparing two schedules of brain stimulation to prevent depression relapse
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial is for people with depression who have already gotten better after a 4-week course of theta burst stimulation (a type of brain stimulation). It tests two different schedules of ongoing brain stimulation (clustered vs. tapered) to see which helps prevent depression from coming back.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with depression
- You have already completed a 4-week course of theta burst stimulation (a type of brain stimulation) and it helped you a lot
- You do not have any metal implants or other reasons that make brain stimulation or MRI unsafe
- You have not had problems with alcohol or drugs in the past 3 months

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 a newer type of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-invasive brain stimulation therapy) to treat depression that hasn't improved with antidepressant medications. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for adults with treatment-resistant depression and teenagers with moderate-to-severe depression.
This study tests a newer brain stimulation technique called theta burst stimulation (TBS) to treat depression that hasn't improved with antidepressant medications. Researchers will use advanced imaging to see how the treatment affects your brain and whether it helps reduce depression symptoms.
This trial tests if doing exercise before repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve depression symptoms in people who haven't gotten better with standard treatments.
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.
This study tests whether intermittent theta burst stimulation (a type of brain stimulation using a magnetic device) can help keep depression from coming back after it has improved. It focuses on people whose depression has responded to an earlier iTBS treatment and who are able to safely receive TMS.
