Home-based magnetic brain stimulation for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a magnetic brain stimulation treatment that you can do at home, for moderate to severe depression. It aims to see if this therapy can improve your symptoms without requiring frequent hospital visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis of major depressive disorder with a current moderate to severe episode.
- You must be on a stable dose of an antidepressant (SSRI) for at least 4 weeks, or have not taken any psychiatric medication for 4 weeks.
- You must be able to undergo an MRI scan (no metal implants, no claustrophobia).
- You must not have certain other psychiatric conditions, epilepsy, or unstable medical conditions.
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy.

This trial tests an alternating combination of brain stimulation and brain imaging to see if it helps people with depression that hasn’t improved with usual treatments. The goal is to find a safer, more effective approach for people whose depression has been very difficult to treat.
This trial tests whether using brain-related “biomarkers” from your scans to guide rTMS can improve depression that hasn’t responded to at least one antidepressant. It may help by targeting brain circuits linked to depression more precisely.
This study tests how a specific kind of brain stimulation (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) works for people with depression that has not responded to standard treatments. If you qualify, it may help doctors understand the mechanism and improve options for treatment-resistant depression.
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 tests a new type of magnetic brain stimulation (called TMS) for depression. It uses a sham (fake) treatment as a comparison to see if the rapid-acting version is effective and safe.
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.
