简要总结
This a 12- week study (1-4 week screening, 6 weeks treatment, 2 weeks follow-up) outpatient open label clinical trial. Twenty-five subjects diagnosed with depression with a Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRAS) score of 26 or higher, will be enrolled into this trial, up to fifty subjects will be consented. The primary purpose of the current study is to determine: 1) if changes in electrical activity of the brain measured by EEG in specific areas is associated with changes in the blood flow of the brain 2) Which areas of the brain show changes in electrical activity and treatment response.
详细描述
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has demonstrated efficacy as a treatment for major depression. No objective markers have been identified that indicate which patients are most likely to respond to TMS therapy. The goal of the present investigation is to determine whether an electroencephalographic measure called cordance or a measure of blood flow in the frontal brain, as measured by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) can serve as predictors of outcome with TMS therapy in depression. Subjects with depression will be treated in this study for 6 weeks with TMS. Frontal brain blood flow measured using NIRS will be assessed prior to TMS therapy, and repeatedly thereafter. EEG cordance will also be obtained following a similar schedule. Measures of depression and other psychiatric disorders will be collected prior to, during and for 2 weeks after the completion of TMS treatment. The correlation between these measures and the EEG and NIRS measures will then be determined to see if these latter measures are predictive of improvement in depression.

结局指标
主要结局
Changes in MADRAS scores between baseline and the last treatment day
时间窗: 6 Weeks
The primary outcomes will be the correlations between EEG cordance or task-induced changes in frontal total Hb levels and changes in MADRAS scores between baseline and the last treatment day. Correlations between these measures will be determined between other cordance and total Hb levels obtained after the first week of treatment and MADRAS changes for the last day of treatment. Similar analyses will be conducted for changes in MADRAS scores between baseline and the follow-up visit.
