简要总结
This study will investigate the cortical hemodynamic response variability of an accelerated form of TBS stimulation over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) using a concurrent TBS/fNIRS setup. The accelerating TMS protocol that will be used in this study is similar to the Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy (SAINT), i.e., fifty iTBS sessions (1,800 pulses per session, 50-minute intersession interval) will be delivered as 10 daily sessions over 5 consecutive days at 90% resting motor threshold. The investigators will recruit a depressed patient and conduct a concurrent iTBS/fNIRS protocol for each iTBS session. Moreover, the depression symptoms of the patient will be assessed before and after treatment.

研究组 & 干预措施
Accelerating TMS treatment
One depressed patient will be included in this study, which lasts for 5 consecutive days. During these 5 days, the participant will receive accelerated TMS treatment based on SAINT protocol, simultaneously monitored by concurrent TMS/fNIRS.
干预措施: Accelerated iTBS (Other)
结局指标
主要结局
Oxygenated and deoxygenated hemoglobin (HbO and HbR) change compared to baseline
时间窗: Before, during and immediately after the intervention
iTBS-induced HbO and HbR change in the DLPFC before, during and after stimulation
Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D)
时间窗: through study completion, an average of 5 days
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, 17 item (HAM-D-17) is a simple, clinician-administered tool used to assess symptoms of depression experienced by a patient in the past week. The values of HAM-D-17 range from 0 to 52, and higher socres mean more severe symptoms.
次要结局
- Montgomery-Asberg depression rating scale (MADRS)(through study completion, an average of 5 days)
- Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)(daily for 5 days)
- Verbal Analogue Scale (VAS) fatigue and pain level(immediately after the intervention)
