Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aimed at exploring the effectiveness and safety of rTMS intervention with DMPFC targets guided by pBFS in patients with treatment-resistant depression.


Clinical Trial Description

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, is 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 double-blind in a 1:1 ratio to the active rTMS group, or sham-control group. Then all participants will undergo a 21-day rTMS modulation and a 3-week, 9-week, and 6-month post-treatment follow-up visit. ;
