简要总结
Participants will receive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) at a random location in the left prefrontal cortex, excluding sites that are potentially unsafe. Extensive behavioral testing will be conducted to determine which behaviors are modulated by stimulating which circuits.
详细描述
Patients who meet inclusion criteria for a primary diagnosis of MDD, OCD, GAD, or Schizophrenia (n=90) and consent to treatment will be assigned two random stimulation sites in the left prefrontal cortex and receive 2 days of accelerated iTBS treatment at the first stimulation site. Patients will have a 2 month break before coming back for 2 days of accelerated iTBS treatment at the second stimulation site. Patients with schizophrenia will be offered to participate in a third arm of the trial using a schizophrenia-specific target. This arm will also include fMRI scans and behavioral testing pre- and post- aiTBS. There will be two days (6 hours total) of behavioral testing and MRI scanning before each stimulation session and two days (6 hours total) after each stimulation session. Participants will be given the option of completing the behavioral testing in one day, before and after stimulation sessions. All the patients will receive active stimulation, which will facilitate enrollment and eliminate ethical concerns about placebo treatment in vulnerable patient populations. All participants will be blinded to their target coordinates and scales will be administered by a blinded study staff.

盲法说明
All participants will receive real open-label TMS, so there will be no conventional masking. However, participants and investigators will be blinded to which network is being stimulated.

Clustering of multiple behavioral measures
时间窗: through study completion, average of 3 months
The primary outcome is that stimulation of different circuits will selectively modify different behavioral clusters. Participants will complete the following phenotyping battery tasks and questionnaires: Q-SCID PANSS SAPS SANS PYRATS CDSS YBOCS CGI ATQ ASI BAI BDI BIS/BAS Claremont Purpose Scale De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale Daily Spiritual Experience Scale Emotional Reactivity Scale Flourishing Measures Headache Impact Test HiTOP-Self Report Moral Judgment Scale Pain Screener Personal Relationship with God Scale PSQI Positive and Negative Affect Scale Ruminative Response Scale Self Compassion-Short Form Spiritual Transcendence Scale- Short Form Temporal Experience of Pleasure Scale Values and Beliefs of the American Public Altruistic Decision Task Balloon Analogue Risk Task DSIAT EEfRT MSIT ECR Time perception task TMB toolkit 5min AV recording
