Brain scans may predict TMS success in Tough-to-Treat depression
NCT ID NCT04663841
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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.
