Abstract

Current first-line treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) include pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. However, one-third of depressed patients do not achieve remission after multiple medication trials, and psychotherapy can be costly and time-consuming. Although non-implantable neuromodulation (NIN) techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, electroconvulsive therapy, and magnetic seizure therapy are gaining momentum for treating MDD, the efficacy of non-convulsive techniques is still modest, whereas use of convulsive modalities is limited by their cognitive side effects. In this context, we propose that NIN techniques could benefit from a precision-oriented approach. In this review, we discuss the challenges and opportunities in implementing such a framework, focusing on enhancing NIN effects via a combination of individualized cognitive interventions, using closed-loop approaches, identifying multimodal biomarkers, using computer electric field modeling to guide targeting and quantify dosage, and using machine learning algorithms to integrate data collected at multiple biological levels and identify clinical responders. Though promising, this framework is currently limited, as previous studies have employed small samples and did not sufficiently explore pathophysiological mechanisms associated with NIN response and side effects. Moreover, cost-effectiveness analyses have not been performed. Nevertheless, further advancements in clinical trials of NIN could shift the field toward a more "precision-oriented" practice.

Figure 2. Examples of NIN techniques (top panel) and the corresponding electric field distribution in the brain (bottom panel): A) tDCS using 5 × 5 cm electrodes placed over the bilateral DLPFC; electrodes are colored red and blue to distinguish anode (red) vs cathode (blue). B) TMS using the MagVenture B70 coil over the left DLPFC. C) Right unilateral ECT; conventional ECT uses a bipolar waveform and therefore does not distinguish between anodal vs. cathodal electrodes. Electric field strengths are normalized to their respective maximum value (Emax); absolute field strengths are very different across the modalities ( 100 V/m for TMS and ECT). Figure produced using SimNIBS software. DLPFC = dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; ECT = electroconvulsive therapy; NIN = non-implantable neuromodulation; tDCS = transcranial direct current stimulation; TMS = transcranial magnetic stimulation.
