Magnetic brain zaps aim to fix depressed thinking

NCT ID NCT07161492

Summary

This study is testing if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) can improve 'cognitive flexibility'—the ability to switch between thoughts and tasks—in people with major depression. Researchers believe a specific weak connection in the brain causes this thinking problem and that stimulating it can help. They will compare the effects of real brain stimulation to a sham (fake) treatment in 182 participants to see if it improves thinking skills and depression outcomes.
