Sleeping your way to better mental health? brain zaps show promise

NCT ID NCT06824415

Summary

This small Stanford study tested whether using magnetic pulses to gently stimulate the brain during sleep could help treat depression. It involved 15 people with moderate-to-severe depression who hadn't responded well to at least one antidepressant medication. Researchers measured brain activity, sleep quality, and thinking skills to see if this approach was safe, tolerable, and showed early signs of benefit.
