Brain scan guided magnetic pulses aim to beat depression
NCT ID NCT04041479
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether using a brain scan (fMRI) to guide magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can better treat depression that hasn't improved with medication. About 348 adults aged 22-65 with major depression will receive rTMS, and researchers will track changes in depression scores. The goal is to see if personalized targeting of brain networks leads to better outcomes.
