Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Depression in bipolarity
This study has public registry information. It focuses on bipolarity and currently lists study information in Australia.
Key information made simple
What is this study testing?
This study is testing whether the study approach may be useful for adults experiencing bipolarity.
What would participation involve?
Participants may complete study activities around the study approach, complete questionnaires or follow-up assessments, attend study visits with the research team. The registry lists locations in Australia.
Who is it mainly for?
This study appears to be mainly for adults with bipolarity.
What should you check before joining?
Ask about whether there is a comparison group, how many visits or travel steps are needed, the exact eligibility criteria.
Your next step
The official record suggests in-person participation through a clinic, with sites including Black Dog Research Institute in Sydney and Northside Clinic in Sydney. Participation appears to involve using a digital tool or support program and giving feedback through check-ins or assessments. The main fit is usually matching the main diagnosis and meeting the main study requirements, while common reasons not to take part include safety concerns that need urgent care first and active substance or alcohol problems that could affect the results. This is an early-stage study, which usually means a smaller group and a focus on learning how the approach behaves.
Questions to ask before joining
- What are the exact eligibility criteria, and what could exclude someone?
- How many visits, assessments, or follow-ups are expected, and over what period?
- What risks, side effects, practical burdens, or alternatives should be understood first?
- Who should be contacted to confirm locations, timing, compensation, and next steps?

Questions about this study
What is this study trying to understand?
This study is exploring digital app or tool for people with bipolarity. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.
Does this study involve a device, app, or technology?
This appears to be a device / app / digital / technology study. The phase is not clearly listed in the public registry. Phase is mostly relevant for medication studies and some device studies. For this study, it may be more useful to look at what is required, the duration, visits, and eligibility criteria.
Do I need to want to stop or reduce tobacco use to participate?
The public registry appears to mention tobacco, nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, or another addiction-related topic. Ask the study team whether you need to want to stop, reduce, already be abstinent, or simply meet use-related criteria. Eligibility must be confirmed by the study team.
What would I likely need to do?
You may need to use a device, app, or digital tool for a defined period. The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask whether some steps can be done remotely.
What should I check about data, monitoring, alerts, and daily use?
If the study uses a device, app, or digital tool, check what data is collected, who can access it, how often you need to use it, and what happens if the tool detects a concerning signal. For any mental health study, also ask who to contact if you feel worse, whether participation may affect current treatment, whether you can stop, and who confirms eligibility.
Will I need to travel or attend in-person visits?
The listed study locations suggest that at least part of participation may involve a physical site. Ask which sites are open, how many visits are expected, whether any steps can be done remotely, and whether travel costs or compensation are listed.
Who is behind this study?
This study is sponsored by The University of New South Wales, which appears to be a university. If available, it can be useful to check the sponsor website, collaborators, investigator affiliation, and the official registry before deciding. HopeStage does not judge the quality of a sponsor or researcher, but helps you identify what to verify.
Can I still join this study?
The registry indicates that this study is not currently recruiting. Check the official registry for the reason and latest status.
