First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tests a quick, non-invasive brain stimulation method called accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation (aiTBS) for people with depression that hasn't improved with standard treatments. About 247 adults aged 18-65 will be randomly assigned to receive either aiTBS with precise brain targeting (neuronavigation), aiTBS without it, or a sham (fake) procedure. The goal is to see if these approaches can safely reduce depression symptoms.
