Brief description of study
DO YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAVE DEPRESSION? Join Our Study and Help Researchers Discover A New Treatment For Treatment-Resistant Depression!
Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine are looking for adults to take part in a study to learn more about the effects of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) treatments at the middle of the forehead on symptoms of depression and brain function. rTMS is a non-invasive method of stimulating the brain and changing the way the parts of your brain communicate with each other.
Results from this study will help us better understand the nature of the disorder with the goal of improving ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat Depression.
Detailed description of study
What is Involved
You will first be asked to attend a screening visit. You will undergo some assessments to find out if you meet the study requirements (eligibility). Your medical records may be accessed and reviewed to do this.
Study participation involves:
