Using MRI scans to 'massage brain' could ease depression symptoms

Researchers at the University of Nottingham found that using MRI scans to pinpoint the exact are of the brain to hit could double the length of time that the treatment worked for.

Magnetic treatment trialled in Newcastle to help people with severe depression

Study: MRIs in depression treatment could ease symptoms for longer

Using MRI scans to deliver targeted magnetic stimulation to depressed people’s brains could ease symptoms for six months, researchers have suggested. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a method which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain, and is usually delivered in sessions over four to six weeks. According to academics at the UK's University of Nottingham, symptoms in depressed patients usually ease for one to three months following treatment. However, the BRIGhTMIND tri

Novel MRI technique improves the lasting effe

<p>A major clinical trial has shown that by using MRI and tracking to guide the delivery of magnetic stimulation to the brains of people with severe depression, patients will see their symptoms ease for at least six months, which could vastly improve their quality of life.</p> <p>The results of the trial, published in <em>Nature Medicine, </em>found that on average, participants showed substantial improvements in the severity of their depression, anxiety and thinking with better function and quality of life over 26 weeks with MRI neuronavigated Transcranial Magnetic Simulation (TMS). This was a substantial increase on the previous reported improvements lasting only 1-3 months.</p> <p>The BRIGhTMIND randomised controlled trial was led by experts at the University of Nottingham, hosted by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, and was funded by a National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and Medical Research Council (MRC)
