Personalized brain stimulation for depression and anxiety
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 new, personalized form of brain stimulation (called TMS) using MRI scans to target the right areas for people whose depression hasn't improved with medication. It aims to see if this tailored approach works better than standard TMS.
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.
This study looks for early brain-wave patterns that could help personalize treatment for people with depression that hasn't responded to medication. Researchers will use brain imaging and a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to see if these patterns can predict who benefits most from treatment.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation (guided iTBS) to improve depression when standard antidepressant treatments haven’t helped. It also checks that the treatment is safe for people who can meet the study and scan safety requirements.
This trial tests a faster version of a brain stimulation treatment called TMS for people with depression. The goal is to see how well it works and how tolerable it is.
