Brain pacemaker tested for most severe depression cases

NCT ID NCT04124341

Summary

This study is testing whether electrical stimulation of the front part of the brain can help people with severe depression that hasn't improved with standard treatments. Fifteen participants will have a small, pacemaker-like device surgically implanted to deliver this stimulation. Researchers will track symptoms for over four years to see if this approach provides meaningful and lasting relief.
