Electrophysiological Biomarkers in Accelerated TMS for Depression
22 maja 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Ali Tarık Altunç, Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa
Electrophysiological Biomarkers of Treatment Response in Major Depressive Disorder Patients Receiving Accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
This study investigates whether physiological signals recorded during transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can predict which patients with major depression respond to treatment.
Thirty-two adults with major depressive disorder receive an accelerated TMS protocol targeting the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex using a double-cone coil, delivered as four sessions per day over five to eight days.
Heart rate is continuously monitored throughout every stimulation session using a chest-strap sensor, and electroencephalography (EEG) is recorded before and after treatment.
Heart-brain coupling was assessed in a separate dedicated session after the target stimulation dose was reached.The primary clinical outcome is the change in depression severity measured by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) from baseline to post-treatment.
Prespecified physiological outcomes include stimulation-evoked heart rate deceleration, resting-state EEG parameters, and heart-brain coupling metrics.
The aim is to evaluate whether these electrophysiological measures index target engagement and predict antidepressant response, potentially supporting their use as functional biomarkers for personalizing accelerated TMS in depression.

Eksperymentalny: Accelerated bilateral dmPFC-iTBS with double-cone coil
Participants received accelerated bilateral intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) targeting the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) using a Cool DB-80 double-cone coil.
Treatment consisted of four sessions per day, delivering 1,200 pulses per session (600 pulses per hemisphere, applied sequentially to left and right dmPFC), at 120% of resting motor threshold.
The total course comprised 20 to 30 sessions over 5 to 8 days.
|
Stimulation was delivered using a MagPro R30 stimulator equipped with a Cool DB-80 double-cone coil (MagVenture A/S, Farum, Denmark).
The stimulation site was localized using the 25% nasion-inion scalp heuristic for dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) targeting.
The intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) protocol consisted of triplet 50 Hz bursts repeated at 5 Hz, applied as 2-second trains with 8-second inter-train intervals.
Each session delivered 600 pulses sequentially to the left and right dmPFC (1,200 pulses per session), at a target intensity of 120% of the hemisphere-specific resting motor threshold.
Four sessions were delivered per day with approximately 50-minute inter-session intervals.
The total treatment course was 20 sessions over 5 days, extended to 30 sessions over 8 days for partial responders.

Change in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) Score
Ramy czasowe: Baseline, Day 5, and Day 8 for extended courses
|
Depression severity was assessed using the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17) at baseline and within 1 week after completion of the accelerated iTBS course.
The HAMD-17 is a clinician-administered scale; scores range from 0 to 52, with higher scores indicating more severe depression.
Treatment response was defined as a 50% or greater reduction from baseline HAMD-17 score, and remission as a post-treatment HAMD-17 score of 7 or lower.

Heart rate deceleration during stimulation
Ramy czasowe: Through completion of the treatment course, up to 8 days
|
Heart rate was continuously sampled at 1-second intervals using a Polar H10 chest strap during every stimulation session.
Heart rate deceleration (HRD) was calculated as the percentage reduction from the 1-minute pre-stimulation baseline heart rate to the mean stimulation heart rate, using the formula: HRD (%) = [(HR_baseline - HR_stimulation) / HR_baseline] x 100.
HRD was computed across four parameters (all left-sided sessions, all right-sided sessions, highest-intensity left-sided sessions, highest-intensity right-sided sessions) and averaged per participant.
Higher values indicate greater stimulation-induced heart rate deceleration.

Heart-Brain Coupling (HBC): Heart Rate Oscillation Power at the Stimulation Frequency
Ramy czasowe: Single dedicated measurement session after the target dose was reached, up to Day 8
|
Heart-brain coupling (HBC), a parameter quantifying the strength of stimulation-induced heart rate deceleration, computed as the mean oscillation power of cardiac rate at the frequency determined by the stimulation train interval (Dijkstra et al., 2023).
HBC ranges from 0 to 1. Measurements were obtained in a dedicated session using a 10 Hz protocol (50 pulses per train, 5-second train duration, 15 trains, 11-second inter-train interval), recorded with a Polar H10 chest strap and the HeartBrainConnect application.
HBC was assessed sequentially at four sites per participant: left dmPFC, left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), right dmPFC and right DLPFC.
For each site, stimulation began at 28% below target intensity and increased by 2% per train, yielding 15 HBC values that were averaged to produce a per-site HBC value.
