Circuit-Based Approach to Suicide: Biomarkers, Predictors, and Novel Therapeutics
March 20, 2024 updated by: Joan A Camprodon, MD MPH PhD, Massachusetts General Hospital
This neuroimaging study is a clinical trial investigating the effectiveness of intermittent theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (iTBS-TMS) to the inferior parietal lobule (IPL) in reducing suicide risk in patients with major depressive episode (MDE) or borderline personality disorder (BPD).
Study Overview
Status
Recruiting
Detailed Description
This neuroimaging study aims to determine the effectiveness of iTBS-TMS to the IPL in reducing suicide risk in patients with MDE or BPD.
This study also aims to identify the structural and functional circuit properties that characterized the suicidal brain and the signatures that explain the clinical severity of suicidal risk.
Moreover, this study aims to determine biological and dimensional predictors of anti-suicidal response to iTBS-TMS and its mechanism of action.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: BPD and Active iTBS-TMS
This group will consist of patients diagnosed with BPD that are receiving active iTBS-TMS.
|
iTBS-TMS is a noninvasive neuromodulation technique that uses a powerful magnet to induce focal electrical currents in target brain regions.
Other Names:
|
Sham Comparator: BPD and Sham iTBS-TMS
This group will consist of patients diagnosed with BPD that are receiving sham iTBS-TMS.
|
The sham version of iTBS-TMS involves placing the magnet over the same target brain region but the device will not be turned on during the treatment.
There will be two electrodes placed on the scalp that mimic the sensation of iTBS-TMS but does not induce focal electrical currents.
