Brain stimulation for young adults with depressive symptoms
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to see if it can improve how the brain and heart work together in people aged 18 to 30 who have mild depressive symptoms. The goal is to understand if this treatment could help with mood regulation.

This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can help treat depression in people aged 15 to 25. It involves a quick, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to the head, and researchers want to see how it affects thinking and mood.
This trial tests a gentle brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to see if it can help young people with mild depression symptoms. It is designed for those who have some depressive feelings but do not yet meet the full criteria for major depression.
This study tests a new treatment approach for adults with depression. It may help improve symptoms by using a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).
This trial tests a new type of brain stimulation (called iTBS) to see if it can help young women with depression. The treatment uses magnetic pulses to target brain areas involved in mood, and the study also uses MRI scans to track changes in the brain. You may receive this treatment in addition to your usual care.
This study uses brain scans and magnetic stimulation to understand depression. It is testing how the brain responds to treatment and may help find better ways to treat depression.
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.
