First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study looks at whether brain scans can help predict which veterans with hard-to-treat depression will get better with a treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Researchers will use MRI scans to measure brain activity before and during TMS therapy. The goal is to find patterns that show who is most likely to benefit, so treatment can be personalized in the future.
