Brain stimulation therapy for depression
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 18 and 65 years old.

- You have not had TMS treatment in the last 3 months.
- You do not have metal implants in your head or other TMS contraindications.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to participate.

This study tests a noninvasive treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in depression. It is for adults with major depression that hasn't improved with medication.
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 non-invasive brain stimulation treatment for people with major depression who still have symptoms despite treatment. It aims to see if this approach can help improve mood and reduce residual symptoms.
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.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation (TBS) for depression. It uses advanced imaging to see how the brain responds, which may help tailor treatment.
This trial tests a new type of non-invasive brain stimulation that uses gentle electrical fields to target areas of the brain linked to mood. It aims to help people with moderate to severe depression who haven't responded well to other treatments.
