Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Major Depression With EEG and Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Monitoring

Stopped early · Early Phase 1

Conditions studied: Depression

In brief

This a 12- week study (1-4 week screening, 6 weeks treatment, 2 weeks follow-up) outpatient open label clinical trial. Twenty-five subjects diagnosed with depression with a Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRAS) score of 26 or higher, will be enrolled into this trial, up to fifty subjects will be consented.
