Transcranial Electric Stimulation Therapy (TEST) for Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD)

This study is exploring brain stimulation for people with depression. Participants may complete study visits, assessments, or follow-up activities defined by the research team. It includes a comparison with a sham comparison. Direct benefit is not guaranteed. The detailed objective is not always clearly listed in the public registry; the study team can confirm.

This appears to be a device / app / digital / technology study involving MagPro TMS Stimulator and coil, Thymatron(R) System IV, Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner, ECT device without stimulation. 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.

This study may concern people with depression; age range: From 25 Years to 64 Years. The criteria appear fairly specific, but you should not assume you are eligible. The study team must confirm diagnosis, age, exclusions, available locations, and next steps.

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.

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.

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.

This study is sponsored by National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), which appears to be a government agency. The listed contact or investigator is National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC), affiliated with National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). Sponsor website: https://www.nimh.nih.gov. 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.

The registry indicates that the study is active but not currently recruiting. This usually means participants may already be involved, but new participants may not be accepted.
