Accelerated iTBS for PTSD and Depression

2026年6月26日 更新者:Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's

Accelerated Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation for Depression in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Single-Arm, Open-Label Feasibility Study

The goal of this pilot clinical trial is to learn if a faster brain stimulation schedule is practical, safe, tolerable, and acceptable. This study looks at accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation, or accelerated iTBS. This is a non-invasive type of magnetic brain stimulation. This study is for adults with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD).

The main questions this study aims to answer are:

  1. Can participants complete six short brain stimulation sessions per day for five days?
  2. Is this treatment schedule safe and tolerable for participants?
  3. What changes occur in depression symptoms, PTSD symptoms, anxiety, quality of life, and brain activity over time?

Participants will:

  1. Complete health screening and baseline assessments.
  2. Receive six short sessions of magnetic brain stimulation per day for five days.
  3. Have their brain activity measured using an EEG recording.
  4. Return for a post-treatment assessment at Week 2 and follow-up visits at Week 5 and Week 12.

調査の概要

詳細な説明

This is a single-arm, open-label pilot feasibility study of accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation, also called accelerated iTBS, in adults with both post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD). The study is designed to assess whether an accelerated iTBS schedule can be delivered safely, tolerably, and feasibly in a clinical setting. The main focus is feasibility, including recruitment, treatment adherence, participant retention, safety, tolerability, and participant acceptability. About 12 to 16 participants will receive active accelerated iTBS. Treatment will include six short stimulation sessions per day over five consecutive days, for a total of 30 sessions. The study will also collect exploratory information over time on depression symptoms, PTSD symptoms, anxiety, daily functioning, quality of life, and brain activity measured by EEG. Because this is a small pilot study, the analysis will be mainly descriptive. The results will help refine study procedures and guide the design of a larger future clinical trial.

介入・治療
実験的:Accelerated iTBS
Participants will receive active accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS). Treatment will consist of six short stimulation sessions per day delivered over five consecutive days, for a total of 30 sessions.
Accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation, also called accelerated iTBS, is a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation intervention. Stimulation is delivered to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex using a transcranial magnetic stimulation system. Participants receive six short sessions per day over five consecutive days.
