rTMS Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression With Different Targets Guided by pBFS
Personalized Brain Functional Sector-guided rTMS Therapy Over Different Targets for Treatment-resistant Depression
Study Overview

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(DLPFC) and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) as target sites for rTMS intervention in depressive disorders has shown some therapeutic efficacy. However, overall patient response rates remain suboptimal, partly because the prefrontal cortex is a large region encompassing multiple functional networks. Analyses suggest that targeting different targets within the dorsolateral and ventromedial prefrontal cortex for intervention in depressive disorder patients may activate distinct functional networks. Therefore, selecting appropriate targets within the prefrontal cortex that accurately modulate the functional networks involved in depressive disorder patients is crucial for achieving effective clinical outcomes. Fox et al. have demonstrated that clinical response and individualized target sites in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex are associated with functional connectivity to the subgenual cingulate cortex (sgACC). However, some analyses have indicated that rTMS target sites based solely on minimal sgACC connectivity may not be optimal for all depressive symptoms. Therefore, identifying individualized stimulation targets that improve core symptoms in depressed patients is important for achieving more effective personalized treatment of depressive disorders. This study aims to explore the efficacy and safety of rTMS interventions targeting 40 prefrontal cortex sites in depressive disorder patients and functional imaging-based mechanisms for optimal stimulation targets.
After being informed about the study and potential risks. All patients giving written informed consent will undergo a screening period to determine eligibility for study entry. At week 0, patients who meet the eligibility requirements will be assigned a random intervention target from 40 prefrontal cortex sites. Then all participants will undergo a 14-day rTMS modulation and a week follow-up visit. Participants will keep a stable treatment regime during treatment and follow-up.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
change in MADRS
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 14(immediate post-treatment)
|
A provider-administered questionnaire was used to assess remission and recovery from depression.
The MADRS is a ten-item diagnostic questionnaire used to measure the severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders.
The MADRS has an overall score range from 0-60, with higher scores corresponding to higher levels of depression
|
Baseline, Day 14(immediate post-treatment)

change in HAMD
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21
|
A provider-administered questionnaire was used to assess remission and recovery from depression.
The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) is the most widely used clinician-administered depression assessment scale.
The Ham-17 version consists of 17 items assessing mood, guilt, general somatic symptoms, work and activities, anxiety, and slowness of thought and speech.
Each item is scored on a scale of 0 to 4, except for the somatic, sleep, and insight items which are scored 0 to 2. On the HAMD-17 there can be a total score of 52.
Higher scores represent higher depression severity
