NCT ID NCT07369180
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a faster version of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can safely treat major depressive disorder. Instead of the usual 30 sessions over six weeks, participants receive three 19-minute sessions in a single day. The trial includes 37 adults aged 22-85 with drug-resistant depression, comparing active treatment to a sham procedure to measure changes in mood scores.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a faster, more convenient treatment option for depression, reducing the need for daily visits over weeks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial with only 37 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The accelerated schedule might not be as effective or safe as the standard regimen.
