Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This study investigates how brains change as a result of a treatment for depression called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). People who receive rTMS will have pictures of their brains and brain activity taken by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner before and after their treatment, as well as up to three times during the six-week treatment course. These images will be examined to see if the rTMS is placed correctly to help treat their symptoms, and what changes in brain activity are happening during the rTMS treatment
