This trial tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) can help teens with moderate to severe depression feel better. It involves wearing a special magnetic coil on the head during several sessions.
This study tests whether vitamin D supplements can improve brain wave patterns in women diagnosed with depression who have low vitamin D levels. Researchers will measure brain activity using EEG (a non-invasive test that records electrical signals from the brain) before and after vitamin D treatment.
This trial tests a new medicine called DT-101 to see if it helps people with depression. It is for adults who have had more than one depressive episode in their life.
This study uses brain scans to look at dopamine — a chemical messenger related to reward and mood — in people with depression and healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how dopamine changes in depression, which may lead to better treatments.
This study looks at brain and behavior in teens aged 10–20 who are hospitalized for depression or bipolar disorder. It aims to better understand the condition and may help guide future treatments.
