Personalized brain stimulation for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a personalized type of brain stimulation, called iTBS, for people with depression. It aims to see if tailoring the treatment to each person's brain activity makes it more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 an accelerated form of iTBS (a non-invasive brain stimulation technique) for depression that hasn't improved with antidepressant medications. The goal is to help people with major depression who haven't responded adequately to at least one antidepressant drug.
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 study uses personalized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) – a non-invasive brain stimulation technique – to map brain circuits involved in depression and anxiety. It aims to improve treatment by tailoring the stimulation to each person's brain activity.
This study tests a personalized brain stimulation treatment for depression. It also uses a smartwatch to track your progress and adjust your care. The goal is to see if a tailored treatment plan can help maintain improvement and prevent relapse.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for people with depression that hasn't improved with at least two antidepressants. Researchers want to see if a faster version of TMS (theta-burst stimulation) helps reduce depression symptoms.
