This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a type of brain stimulation called theta-burst stimulation to help with sleep problems, daytime sleepiness, and fatigue in people with depression. Researchers will use magnetic pulses applied to specific areas of the scalp to stimulate brain activity. The study will compare whether this treatment works better than a fake (sham) version.
Many people with depression struggle with sleep problems and fatigue, which can be just as disabling as low mood itself. While magnetic brain stimulation has been shown to help with depression symptoms, scientists don't yet know if this treatment can also specifically improve sleep and reduce tiredness.

You would attend sessions three times a day, five days a week, for four weeks (90 sessions total). During each session, a magnetic coil will be placed against your scalp to deliver magnetic pulses to your brain—the procedure takes just a few minutes and is painless, though you may feel tapping sensations. You'll also complete questionnaires about your sleep, mood, energy levels, and daytime sleepiness at various points during the study.
