Clinical Trial Summary

This project assesses the effectiveness and lasting impact of combining Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with prefrontal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with borderline personality disorder.


Clinical Trial Description

The proposed project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with prefrontal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The study includes four groups of patients: 1) DBT combined with active prefrontal rTMS treatment (rTMS-DBT group), 2) DBT combined with sham rTMS treatment (sham-DBT group), 3) active prefrontal rTMS treatment only (rTMS-only group), and 4) sham rTMS treatment only (sham-only group). The study will include assessments conducted before (T1) and after the rTMS treatment (T2) composed of self-reported questionnaires, clinical interviews assessing self-harming behavior and healthcare utilization, ecological momentary assessment of emotional variability, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) during emotional task, and control clinical EEG measurements. Follow-up measurements will be conducted at T3 (three months after rTMS), and for DBT group also at T4 (six months after rTMS), and T5 (twelve months after rTMS) for to track long-term effects. ;
