Summary
This study looks at whether adding structured exercise to a type of brain stimulation called iTBS can improve depression symptoms in people whose depression hasn't responded well to standard treatments. Twenty physically inactive adults with difficult-to-treat depression will either get iTBS alone or iTBS plus exercise. The goal is to see if the combination is feasible and more effective, which could lead to larger studies.
