Summary

This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group controlled trial. The aim of this research project is to compare the clinical benefits achieved in patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) following two types of intervention: ccPAS active or ccPAS sham.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria1

  • Diagnosis of BPD (established by a psychiatrist and confirmed in a structured interview using the MINI) based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM V).

Exclusion Criteria5

  • Contraindications to TMS/MRI (pacemakers or other devices likely to interfere with the magnetic field).
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women.
  • Ongoing anxiolytic treatment (benzodiazepines), neuroleptic treatment or anticonvulsants acting on GABAergic transmission ; 24 hours prior to the protocol.
  • Diagnosis of other chronic psychiatric pathology including bipolar disorder type I or II and addictions (except tobacco).
  • Protective measure (curatorship or guardianship)

Interventions

DEVICENon-invasive brain stimulation protocol (Cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation protocol (ccPAS)) delivered at 4 ms intervals.

The first stimulation will be applied to the IFC and the second to the pre-SMA, with an interstimulation interval set at 4 ms. A total of 180 stimulation pairs will be delivered every 2 s. (5Hz) for a total duration of 15 minutes at an intensity of 120% of rMT

DEVICENon-invasive brain stimulation protocol (Cortico-cortical paired associative stimulation protocol (ccPAS)) delivered at 100 ms intervals

The first stimulation will be applied to the IFC and the second to the pre-SMA, with an interstimulation interval set at 100 ms. A total of 180 stimulation pairs will be delivered every 2 s. (5Hz) for a total duration of 15 minutes at an intensity of 120% of rMT
