Did you know Modalis is part of a Youth rTMS Research Study? đ§ â¨
Weâre proud to collaborate with researchers from The University of Western Australia and the Perron Institute on research projects exploring the developing brain and youth mental health. đ§
One of these studies is designed to help researchers better understand how rTMS interacts with brain activity in young people aged 15â24. Young people with a diagnosis of depression who have not undergone TMS before may be eligible to take part.
Participation includes receiving a standard TMS protocol for depression at our either one of our Modalis clinic locations or the Perron Institute, followed by three visits to the Perron Institute. These visits involve completing an MRI, some computer-based tasks, and a set of questionnaires.
All out-of-pocket MRI and TMS treatment costs are covered by the Perron Institute as reimbursement for participating while enrolled in the study.
This research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the developing brain and may help inform how rTMS is personalised for young people in the future. đ§
If youâre aged 15â24 and would like to learn more, you can contact the research team at tms@perron.uwa.edu.au, or chat with one of our clinicians at Modalis for general information.
