ADULTS NEEDED FOR DEPRESSION STUDY!
Overview
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.
