Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a brain stimulation technique called temporal interference stimulation (TIS) — a non-invasive method that uses two low-level electrical currents to stimulate deeper brain areas — as a treatment for depression. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 18 and 65 years old - You have been diagnosed with depression (major depressive disorder) by at least two psychiatrists according to standard DSM-5 criteria - Your depression scores on standard rating scales (HAMD > 17, BSS > 6, PHQ-15 > 5) are above the threshold - You have at least 5 years of education - You are right-handed with normal vision **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have serious physical health problems (severe heart, liver, or kidney disease) - You have neurological conditions such as stroke or epilepsy - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have other mental health conditions such as schizophrenia or substance use disorder Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DEVICETemporal Interference Stimulation (TIS)

The total stimulation duration was 30 minutes, including a 30-second current ramp-up at the beginning and a 30-second ramp-down at the end.

DEVICESham temporal interference stimulation (TIS)

Sham stimulation had only 30 seconds of current ramping-up and ramping-down at the beginning and end of the stimulation, respectively, to simulate the sensation of actual stimulation
