Depression Disorder Research Study
Join a compensated research study funded by the Weill Cornell Medicine aimed to study the effectiveness of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for the treatment of depression.
Facts About Our Study
Our research study is evaluating a new treatment for individuals who are currently experiencing depression
Symptoms of Depression
Between the ages of 18-65 years
Study Conducted in New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City
Able to participate in an MRI scan
Study Background
The main goal of our study is to improve treatment methods for individuals struggling with depression.
New interventions are urgently needed to treat depression, as more than 17 million Americans are currently diagnosed with depression.
Our researchers are evaluating repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a treatment for individuals with depression. rTMS uses focused magnetic field pulses to stimulate specific brain areas.
Contribute to the development of better treatment options for people living with depression.
