Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The investigators compare the primary and secondary outcome measures using accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS, 20 sessions active and 20 sessions sham in a counterbalanced crossover design) to treat depressive symptoms with 2 parallel arms of intervention: personalized (stimulation position based on participants' brain networks) vs conventional (stimulation in F3 position of the 10-20 EEG cap) aiTBS.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Personalized aiTBS active - sham

counterbalanced crossover with sham neuronavigated stimulation

Device: Neuronavigated aiTBS
Accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS, 4 sessions per day with at least 20 minutes pause between sessions) in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)

Active Comparator: Conventional (F3) aiTBS active - sham

counterbalanced crossover with sham neuronavigated stimulation

Device: Neuronavigated aiTBS
Accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS, 4 sessions per day with at least 20 minutes pause between sessions) in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS scores in units of scale) [6 weeks]

    Administer Rating Scale

  2. heart rate and its variability in RR slope and RMSSD values [4-6 weeks]

    Potential marker of treatment response

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17 scores in units of scale) [6 weeks]

    Administer Rating Scale

  2. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-2 scores in units of scale) [6 weeks]

    Self Rating Scale

  3. DMN decoupling / other networks in rho and z values [4-6 weeks]

    Potential markers of treatment response

  4. epi / genetic markers of neuroplasticity in ng [5-6 weeks]

    Potential markers of treatment response
