First seen Nov 13, 2025 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study tested a new way to treat depression that doesn't respond to medication. Researchers used a brain stimulation technique called rTMS, but with a twist: they monitored brain activity in real time to adjust the stimulation for each person. 44 adults with medication-resistant depression took part to see if this personalized approach works better than standard methods.
