U.S., May 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07560878) titled 'Synaptic Mechanisms of Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation in Depression' on April 24.
Brief Summary: Many people with depression do not get better with standard treatments like medication. One promising alternative is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions. A particular pattern of TMS called continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) is thought to reduce overactive brain activity in depression, but we do not yet fully understand how it works at the level of brain cells and connections.
This study aims to determine the biological mechanism by which...
