Clinical Trial Summary

In this research study the investigators aim to learn more about the therapeutic effects of a newer form of non-invasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), called theta burst simulation (TBS), on refractory depression in Autism Spectrum Conditions.


Clinical Trial Description

The overarching goal of this study is to examine treatment effects and elucidate the physiological biomarkers of a newer form of non-invasive brain stimulation therapy on refractory depression in a sample of participants with ASC (autism spectrum condition). Aim 1: To compare the efficacy of 30-sessions of bilateral (BL) versus unilateral (UL) Theta Burst Stimulation to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on depression severity in youth/young adults with ASC and co-occurring refractory major depressive disorder (MDD). Aim 2: To identify physiological markers of target engagement of successful response to either UL or BL on depression severity in youth with ASC and co-occurring refractory MDD. These physiological markers include high-resolution electroencephalography (EEG) markers, social eye-tracking, and handgrip strength (collected via NIH toolbox's motor toolbox domain). Aim 3: To identify feasibility of BL and UL in participants with ASC including systematic measures of safety and tolerability. This includes clinical measures such as rate of hospitalization and medication use. ;
