Stanford tests quick brain zaps for depression relief

NCT ID NCT04243798

Summary

This Stanford University study tested whether a faster version of magnetic brain stimulation could help people with depression that hasn't responded to other treatments. 48 participants with treatment-resistant depression received either real brain stimulation or a sham (fake) treatment while researchers scanned their brains to see how they changed. The goal was to see if this accelerated approach could provide relief while reducing the time commitment of traditional treatments.
