First seen Jan 15, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests a new method to dose repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for treating depression in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). Standard rTMS dosing relies on thumb movement, which many with SCI cannot do. The study will enroll 24 Veterans with SCI and major depression to see if the new dosing approach can safely and effectively reduce depressive symptoms. The goal is to make rTMS treatment accessible to more people with SCI.
