JOIN A CLINICAL STUDY
Have you been diagnosed with depression, anxiety, or OCD?
You may be eligible to receive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) at no cost.
Acacia Clinics is conducting a clinical trial in collaboration with Harvard University and the Brigham and Women's Hospital to see if symptoms of depression, anxiety, and OCD can selectively be improved by stimulating specific areas of the brain.
ABOUT THE STUDY
Through this study we aim to map brain circuitry connected to TMS targets that modify symptoms across multiple mental health conditions.
This study is funded by a grant from the National Institutes of Health awarded to the Harvard and Brigham and Women's team.
