Brain zaps tested to lift depression in complex personality disorder

NCT ID NCT04870255

Summary

This Stanford University study is testing whether a faster form of non-invasive brain stimulation can help reduce depressive symptoms in people who have both borderline personality disorder (BPD) and depression. The study compares real magnetic stimulation targeted at two different brain areas against a fake (sham) treatment. It aims to see if this approach is safe, feasible, and effective for easing the mood episodes that often accompany BPD.
