Summary
This study tested whether customizing brain stimulation (called iTBS) to each person's brain activity could better treat depression that hasn't responded to medication. 75 adults with treatment-resistant depression received 20 sessions over 4 weeks, comparing fully personalized stimulation to standard or partially personalized approaches. The goal was to see if the personalized method improved brain connectivity and reduced depressive symptoms more effectively.
