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.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study uses brain MRI imaging to identify individual patterns of brain connectivity in people with major depression, and then uses those patterns to guide and optimize a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment called accelerated TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation). **You may be eligible if...** - You are aged 18–65 with a diagnosed major depressive disorder (MDD) - You can provide your own consent and communicate in English **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You cannot have an MRI scan (for example, due to metal implants in the head, heart, or neck) - You have a history of brain surgery, epilepsy, head injury, or moderate to severe traumatic brain injury - You have other active psychiatric or neurological conditions, or a personality disorder - You have a history of heart attack or irregular heart rhythm - You have moderate to severe alcohol or substance use disorder - You are pregnant Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
