Key information made simple

This study is looking at whether Theta-burst stimulation (TBS) can help people with Major Depression in Remission or Healthy.

Some participants may receive Healthy control group instead of the study treatment, and direct benefit is not guaranteed.

What to expect

Your next step

The official record suggests in-person participation through a university, with sites including The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Participation appears to involve assessments along with scans or samples to help researchers understand patterns more clearly. The main fit is usually matching the main diagnosis and meeting the main study requirements, while common reasons not to take part include major medical issues that could make participation unsuitable and pregnancy or breastfeeding. The official record does not list a formal phase, which usually means this is focused more on feasibility, delivery, or support than a standard drug-development stage.
