Brain scans could unlock the right treatment for stubborn depression

NCT ID NCT04041479

Summary

This study is testing a new, personalized approach to treat depression that hasn't responded to medication. Researchers will use a special brain scan to identify a patient's 'brain type' and then use that information to choose the best spot to apply magnetic stimulation therapy. The goal is to see if this personalized method works better than the standard one-size-fits-all approach for people with treatment-resistant depression.
