Magnetic seizures may offer hope for depression without memory loss
NCT ID NCT03191058
First seen May 16, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026
Summary
This study tested magnetic seizure therapy (MST) as a possible alternative to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for people with depression that hasn't improved with medication. About 239 adults with treatment-resistant depression received MST to see if it could relieve symptoms while causing fewer memory problems than ECT. The goal was to find a safer, effective option for those who have run out of standard treatments.
