First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can improve both depression and chronic pain symptoms. Fifty-four adults with moderate depression and pain will receive 30 sessions of active treatment, along with surveys, blood draws, MRIs, and EEGs. There is no placebo group, so everyone gets some form of real stimulation. The goal is to see if depression and pain scores improve, and to measure changes in inflammation markers.
