Summary
This study looks at whether adding structured exercise to a brain stimulation treatment called iTBS can help people with depression that hasn't gotten better with medication. Twenty physically inactive adults with difficult-to-treat depression will either get iTBS alone or iTBS plus exercise. The main goal is to see if this combined approach is feasible and if it improves depressive symptoms more than iTBS alone.
