Clinical Trials Linda Carpenter, MD is currently running
Non-Invasive Nerve Stimulation
for Depression
This trial is testing a self-administered device that stimulates nerves in the head to help patients with Major Depressive Disorder. The device sends gentle electrical signals to specific nerves, which may improve mood and reduce depression symptoms. Recent studies have shown that chronic electrical stimulation of brain reward areas induces a robust antidepressant effect.

Maintenance TMS
for Depression
The goal of this study is to evaluate the use of ecological-momentary-assessment (EMA) as a method for scheduling maintenance treatments for patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who responded to an initial acute course of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). To assess symptom re-emergence and severity over time, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 item (PHQ-9) will be administered weekly via a prompt with a link send to a participants' smart phones. Adaptive algorithm software will monitor each participant's PHQ-9 scores over time and determine when a threshold increase in symptoms has occured and maintenance TMS sessions should be offered. Participants in this study will be randomized to either receive weekly EMA (monitoring only) or weekly EMA with maintenance TMS sessions (scheduled as indicated by the EMA algorithm). Participation for each subject will last for one year, with maintenance TMS offered as an adjunct to ongoing treatment as usual (TAU) for depression, i.e., ongoing pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy.
