Timeline
Interventions
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive FDA-approved technique that is commonly used as a treatment for depression. It has been shown to focally activate specific brain regions that are believed to be underactive in patients suffering from depression. In this study, TMS will be administered within FDA-approved guidelines under the supervision of a physician with experience in administering the treatment and monitoring for complications.
