Summary

This trial is testing a device that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain. It aims to help people with Major Depressive Disorder who have depressive episodes. The study will check if this new method is as safe and effective as current treatments. Magnetic seizure therapy (MST) is a potential alternative to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) that may not adversely affect memory.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who are experiencing a depressive episode. The specific details about eligibility criteria were not provided, so it's important to contact the study organizers for more information on who can participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing an accelerated form of Theta Burst Stimulation using the Brainsway Deep TMS System. It aims to show that this new treatment method works as well as the current standard High Frequency stimulation protocol in treating MDD.
What are the potential side effects?
While side effects were not detailed, common ones from similar TMS treatments include headache, scalp discomfort at the site of stimulation, tingling or spasms of facial muscles.
