Heart and brain clues may predict TMS success in depression
NCT ID NCT07615387
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether signals from the heart and brain during transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can predict which people with major depression will get better. Thirty-two adults received an accelerated TMS treatment over 5-8 days while their heart rate was monitored and brain waves were recorded. The goal was not to test the treatment itself, but to find biological markers that could help personalize TMS therapy in the future.
