Brain zaps show promise against tough depression cases
NCT ID NCT04392947
Summary
This study tested whether a type of non-invasive brain stimulation called theta burst stimulation (TBS) could help people with moderate to severe depression who haven't fully responded to standard treatments. 238 participants received either real TBS or a sham (fake) treatment for 30 sessions over 6 weeks, while continuing their regular medication and/or therapy. Researchers measured whether the real stimulation led to greater improvement in depression symptoms compared to the sham treatment.
