简要总结
Investigators aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pBFS-guided rTMS therapy targeting DMPFC for patients with treatment-resistant depression
详细描述
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an established therapy for treatment-resistant depression. The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC), which serves as a connection intermediary of the aberrant functional network in cognitive control and rumination in depression, has been shown to be highly correlated with disease manifestations and post-treatment improvements through several studies involving neuroimaging and brain injury. Research has shown that the response of DMPFC to rTMS is more subject to improving the dimensions of anxiety and insomnia in depression. Therefore, exploring the novel target DMPFC is also beneficial for distinguishing disease dimensions in the future, thereby enabling personalized treatment and improving clinical treatment efficacy.
After being informed about the study and potential risks. All patients giving written informed consent will undergo a screening period to determine eligibility for study entry. At week 0, patients who meet the eligibility requirements will be randomized in a double-blind manner in a 2:1 ratio to the active rTMS group, or sham-control group. Then all participants will undergo a 21-day rTMS modulation and a three- and nine-week follow-up visit.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) scores from baseline to Immediate Post-treatment
时间窗: Baseline and Day 21(Immediate Post-treatment)]
The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is a validated instrument stratifying the severity of depressive episodes in adults. The MADRS has an overall score ranging from 0 (no depression) to 60 (worst depression).
次要结局
- Changes in the HAMD-17 from baseline to each visit(Baseline, Day 21 (Immediate Post-treatment), 3-week Post-treatment, 9-week Post-treatment)
- Changes in the MADRS from baseline to each visit(Baseline, Day 21 (Immediate Post-treatment), 3-week Post-treatment, 9-week Post-treatment)
- Remission and response rates were estimated using Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17)(Baseline, Day 21 (Immediate Post-treatment))
- cognitive changes from baseline to day 21(Immediate Post-treatment)(Baseline, Day 21 (Immediate Post-treatment))
- Remission and response rates were estimated using Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale(MADRS)(Baseline, Day 21 (Immediate Post-treatment))
