简要总结
This program of research constitutes a three-arm, randomized, placebo-controlled trial testing noninvasive brain stimulation for the treatment of anhedonic depression. This trial is part of a larger, three-site study that will be conducted at UCSD, Stanford University, and Cornell University, with the overarching goals to compare competing interventions tested at each site and to combine data that will allow for the creation of an end-to-end model of anhedonic depression. By doing this, the investigators hope to gain insight and lead to the development of brain-behavior biomarkers to identify who is best suited for the different treatment options tested at each site. An additional exploratory objective is phenotyping anhedonic depression from the acquired measures.
Anhedonic patients recruited at UCSD will be randomized to one of three treatment arms to receive different forms of accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS),a novel form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) that is an FDA approved treatment for depression. These arms include: individualized accelerated iTBS (Ind-aiTBS),based on both the frequency of brain responses and electric-field (e-field) modeling of brain bioconductivity; standard accelerated iTBS (Std-aiTBS); and accelerated sham iTBS(sham). Treatment will be delivered on an accelerated schedule, over one week. Additional study sessions will occur both before and after treatment to assess for clinical, neurophysiological, and cognitive measures that will allow for both individualization of treatment and detailed assessment of the effects of the different treatment arms.

盲法说明
Blinding will be achieved via a sham rTMS coil (Cool-B65 A/P) used with the device. This coil can deliver either active or sham stimulation in a manner that is randomized by the system itself and therefore blinded to the treater. The sham setting on this coil looks and sounds identical to the active setting but has a hidden aluminum plate blocking actual stimulation. The MagVenture TMS device holds a blinded key code that is kept by the individual that holds the blind. During the rTMS setup, the operator is instructed to flip the coil to correspond with the key code, but the operator is not able to discern the active versus sham stimulation. Additional measures will be taken to ensure that the treater remains blinded during treatment administration.

研究组 & 干预措施
Individualized Accelerated Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (Ind-aiTBS)
Patients will receive individualized unilateral accelerated theta-burst stimulation to the left dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex for 5 consecutive days, with a total of 10 hours a day. Treatment will be 10min with 50min of breaks in between the 10 sessions. The target for stimulation will be individualized using the participant's fMRI scans by finding the region of the DLPFC most anti-correlated with the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC). This target will be determined using e-field modeling and theta-gamma coupling.
