HAUVERDEEP: Effects of a Classic High-frequency rTMS Treatment Versus a Deep rTMS Treatment
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The main objective is to demonstrate that dTMS is more efficient than high frequency rTMS with a conventional coil.
The patient will receive treatment arm A or B :
Arm A : classic rTMS treatment (use of the 8-shaped coil) and standard therapy Arm B:
treatment with deep rTMS (use of the H-shaped coil (helmet)) and standard therapies.
20 rTMS sessions are planned (5 sessions per week) and 3 follow-up visits : at Day 30, Day 60 and Day 90.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- A 50% change of MADRS score [Day 60]
The main objective is to demonstrate that dTMS is more efficient than high frequency rTMS with a conventional coil. Modification of the MADRS score compared to baseline score. MADRS stands for Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale. It is used to measure the severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders. The questionnaire includes questions on the following symptoms 1. Apparent sadness 2. Reported sadness 3. Inner tension 4. Reduced sleep 5. Reduced appetite 6. Concentration difficulties 7. Lassitude 8. Inability to feel 9. Pessimistic thoughts 10. Suicidal thoughts and each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60. A score from 0 to 6 being normal/symptom absent and a score >34 being severe depression.
