First seen Apr 24, 2026 · Last updated Apr 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks at whether using MRI scans to guide a noninvasive brain stimulation treatment called rTMS works better than the usual scalp-based method for people with depression. About 54 Veterans will take part. For those not getting rTMS but dealing with COVID-19 stress, the study offers a home-based brain stimulation and therapy program to improve quality of life.
