PreNeSt2: Pre-mapping Networks for Brain Stimulation 2
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.

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)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS scores in units of scale) [6 weeks]
Administer Rating Scale
- heart rate and its variability in RR slope and RMSSD values [4-6 weeks]
Potential marker of treatment response
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17 scores in units of scale) [6 weeks]
Administer Rating Scale
- Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-2 scores in units of scale) [6 weeks]
Self Rating Scale
- DMN decoupling / other networks in rho and z values [4-6 weeks]
Potential markers of treatment response
- epi / genetic markers of neuroplasticity in ng [5-6 weeks]
Potential markers of treatment response
