NCT ID NCT04832685
First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called LIFUP can reduce negative thinking and mind-wandering in people with depression. Researchers will use brain scans to see if calming a specific brain region (the posterior cingulate cortex) helps people with depression have fewer negative thoughts and feel more mindful. The study involves 80 adults with depression who will receive both real and sham stimulation to compare effects.
