fMRI Accelerated TMS Depression

Tracking Brain Imaging Changes in Depression Over Clinical Accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy at the Individual Level


Sponsor

Medical University of South Carolina

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Sep 23, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study aims to investigate whether phenotypic-related brain states revealed by a novel INSCAPE ("Individualized Network-based Single-frame Coactivation Pattern Estimation") neuroimaging method in Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) patients can track brain recovery of MDD patients over an accelerated antidepressant transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment.
