Scientists try timing brain zaps to natural rhythms to fight depression

NCT ID NCT03421808

Summary

This study tested whether timing magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to match a person's natural brain rhythms works better for depression than standard TMS. Researchers compared two groups: one received TMS timed to their brain's alpha wave rhythm, while the other received standard TMS without timing. The goal was to see if this personalized timing approach could improve depression treatment outcomes.
