Summary
This study tests a new, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called temporal interference stimulation (TIS) to see if it can reduce non-suicidal self-injury (like cutting) in adolescents with major depression. About 60 teens aged 12-22 will receive either real TIS or a sham treatment. The goal is to measure changes in self-harm behaviors and depression symptoms over time.
