Summary
This pilot study tests whether a fast form of brain stimulation, called accelerated continuous theta-burst stimulation (acTBS), can help reduce suicidal thoughts in adults hospitalized for suicidality. About 40 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real or sham (fake) stimulation up to 5 times daily for 7-10 days. The goal is to see if this treatment safely and quickly eases suicidal thinking.
