Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study is looking at the safety and efficacy of low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) for treating patients with treatment resistant depression who are taking an antidepressant that is not working for them.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Low Field Magnetic Stimulation

Patients in this arm will receive 2 days of active low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) in phase 1, followed by 2 days of active low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) in phase 2. LFMS is a novel, non-contact neuromodulation technique. LFMS is administered through a device while the patient lies on his/her back for 20 minutes.

Device: Low Field Magnetic Stimulation (LFMS)
The LFMS devices produces a unique magnetic field that may help alleviate symptoms of depression.

Placebo Comparator: Sham (LFMS)

Patients in this arm will receive 2 days of sham (not active) low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) in phase 1, followed by 2 days of sham (not active) low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) in phase 2.

Device: Sham LFMS
Sham LFMS looks and sounds like the active treatment but does not produce any magnetic stimulation.

Other: Crossover Arm

Patients in this group will receive two days of sham (not active) low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) in phase 1, followed by two days of active low field magnetic stimulation (LFMS) in phase 2.

Device: Low Field Magnetic Stimulation (LFMS)
The LFMS devices produces a unique magnetic field that may help alleviate symptoms of depression.

Device: Sham LFMS
Sham LFMS looks and sounds like the active treatment but does not produce any magnetic stimulation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression - 6 Items [Baseline and 48 hours after initiating treatment]

    The total HAM-D-6 score is reported. The range of possible scores on the HAM-D-6 is from 0 to 22. Higher values indicate increased depression severity, and worse outcomes. This instrument is completed with a structured interview guide by the clinician based on his/her assessment of the patient's symptoms. This structured interview has been validated for use with time frames shorter than one week.The time frame for this scale is the past 24 hours.
