About this trial

The study utilizes a non-invasive deep brain stimulation (temporal interference, TI) technique primarily targeting the amygdala to preliminarily explore the clinical efficacy and potential mechanisms of MRI-compatible TI technology in regulating the amygdala in depressive disorders, providing a more comprehensive basis for the application of TI technology.
