Summary
This study tested whether customizing the frequency and location of a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called iTBS could better treat depression that hasn't responded to medication. 75 adults with moderate-to-severe depression received either fully personalized, partially personalized, or standard iTBS over 4 weeks. The goal was to see if the personalized approach improved brain connectivity and reduced depressive symptoms more than the standard method.
