NCT ID NCT06266390
First seen Mar 07, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study looks at how a brain area called the subgenual cingulate responds to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in people with depression. Researchers will use MRI scans to see if TMS activates this region and how it changes over a 6-week treatment course. 50 adults with major or persistent depression will participate. The goal is to better understand how TMS works, not to test a new cure.
