Clinical Trial Summary

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) using intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) has been found to be a non inferior protocol to standard rTMS for the treatment of major depressive disorder. An accelerated course is of particular interest given the safety profile of the procedure and the potential to treat people more quickly making the treatment more accessible. This study aims to assess the feasibility and clinical outcomes of a high dose iTBS protocol in patients with depression in the context of unipolar or bipolar II disorder who are waiting for Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or rTMS due to degree of treatment resistance or severity of symptoms. This is a prospective, open-label, interventional pilot study wherein patients who have been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and referred to brain stimulation clinic, will be recruited for the treatment. Patients will be administered eight questionnaires before and after the treatment to assess the change in clinical outcomes.


Clinical Trial Description

Participants will receive same stimulation protocol, however they will be given 6 times per day instead of once per day. Each Treatment will consist of a single iTBS treatment delivering 600 puses of iTBS (bursts of 3 pulses at 50 Hz, bursts repeated at 5 Hz, with a duy cycle of 2 seconds on, 8 seconds off, over 60 cycles and it takes about 3 minutes at a target of 90 to 120% of the subject's resting motor threshold. Treatment will be given through the device that is usually used, which is Magpro by Magventure, B70 Fluid-Cooled Coil . ;
