Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators will administer theta burst stimulation (TBS) in efforts to observe a decrease in severity of reported depression symptoms. A subset of participants will receive positive affect training during this intervention.


Clinical Trial Description

The study has a longitudinal design in which participants complete a baseline assessment, 20 theta burst stimulation (TBS) sessions, a post-TBS assessment, and a follow-up assessment 4 months later. Ideally, TBS sessions will be delivered twice/day, 5 days/week, for 2 weeks. This procedural design of a shorter treatment duration is based on findings of pattern of improvement and newly developed SAINT protocol. A subset of participants will receive training in enhancing positive affect, with 10 training sessions occurring between pairs of TBS sessions. In this study, "response" to intervention will be defined as a greater than 50% decrease in severity of depression symptoms reported by participants. ;
