Establishing Mobile Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Portable Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in a Van for Treatment-Resistant Depression
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
In this pilot study, investigators propose to design and create a portable TMS unit, in a van, and then test out delivering TMS in three different locations in South Carolina, all affiliated with MUSC and within 2-hours driving from Charleston, SC. This study would test out this new delivery mode, and provide valuable feasibility, safety, and efficacy lessons for later refinement and potential widespread adoption of mobile TMS as a treatment option, both in our state and across the US.
