First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study explores whether mild electrical stimulation of the spine can change how the brain processes body signals, which may be disrupted in major depression. Researchers will test different stimulation levels in 67 adults with depression to see if it affects brain activity and is well-tolerated. The goal is to understand the role of these pathways in depression and determine if this approach could lead to new treatments.
