First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 15, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tested whether customizing brain stimulation (rTMS) based on each person's brain scan could better treat depression that hasn't improved with medication. 27 adults with treatment-resistant depression received personalized rTMS, standard rTMS, or another type of stimulation (tDCS) in a crossover design. The study was terminated early, so results are limited, but the goal was to see if personalized targeting reduces symptoms more effectively.
