简要总结
This study evaluates an accelerated schedule of theta-burst stimulation using a transcranial magnetic stimulation device for treatment-resistant bipolar depression. In this open-label study, all participants will receive accelerated theta-burst stimulation.
详细描述
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an established technology as therapy for treatment-resistant depression. The approved method for treatment is 10Hz stimulation for 40 minutes over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC). This methodology has been very successful in real-world situations. The limitations of this approach include the duration of the treatment (approximately 40 minutes per treatment session over 4-6 weeks). Recently, researchers have aggressively pursued modifying the treatment parameters to reduce treatment times with some preliminary success. In a recent study, the investigators applied this accelerated paradigm in individuals with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), which showed a significant antidepressant effect (90% remission rate). Additionally, 3 participants from this study carried a bipolar TRD diagnosis and responded at minimum, equally as well, with no adverse events experienced or manic/hypomanic conversion observed during the treatment series. This study intends to further modify the parameters to create a more rapid form of this treatment for bipolar TRD, and look at the change in clinical measures and neuroimaging biomarkers.

结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)
时间窗: Baseline and immediately post-treatment (6 days post baseline)
A ten item diagnostic questionnaire used to measure the severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders. The MADRS consists of ten questions. Each interview question is rated from 0 to 6 with an overall score of 60 or less. Higher scores indicate increasing depressive symptoms. A total score of 0 to 6 indicates the absents of depressive symptoms, 7 to 19 indicates mild depressive symptoms, 30 to 34 indicates moderate depressive symptoms, 35 to 60 indicates severe depressive symptoms.
次要结局
- Change From Baseline Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS)(Baseline and immediate post-treatment (6 days post baseline))
