First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This early study tests whether a precise, low-dose radiation treatment (stereotactic radiotherapy) can safely reduce symptoms in people with treatment-resistant depression. Nine adults aged 18-50 who have not responded to at least two antidepressants will receive the procedure and be monitored for changes in mood and safety. The goal is to see if this approach offers relief when other treatments have failed.
