Summary
This study tested a very intense, 5-day course of brain stimulation (called accelerated theta burst stimulation) in 130 adults with depression that hadn't improved with other treatments. Half received the real stimulation and half received a fake (sham) procedure. The goal was to see if this approach could safely reduce depression symptoms. Participants kept taking their usual antidepressants during the study.
