高强度低频周期重复经颅磁刺激右侧背外侧前额叶皮层对复发性流产伴焦虑女性心脏自主神经调节的影响
高强度低频率周期性右背外侧前额叶皮层rTMS对复发性流产伴焦虑女性心脏自主神经调节影响的随机假对照概念验证试验(NEURO-CARD-rTMS-2)
本临床试验旨在确定对复发性流产(RPL)伴焦虑症女性患者右侧背外侧前额叶皮层(DLPFC)施加高强度、低频率周期性重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)能否调节心脏自主神经调节功能。 研究主要关注以下问题:
与伪刺激相比,120%静息运动阈值(RMT)节律性低频rTMS是否能在刺激时间窗口内降低心率?
与伪刺激相比,120% RMT rTMS是否会在目标频率(0.0167 Hz)改变心率变异性(HRV)频谱功率?
研究人员将通过对比主动rTMS与伪刺激rTMS,确定主动干预是否能产生可测量的心脏自主神经活动变化。
参与者将:
接受单次rTMS或伪刺激治疗,包含连续20个刺激时间窗口(每个窗口60秒:40秒1Hz刺激加20秒休息),靶向右侧DLPFC;
在整个刺激过程中持续采集心电图(ECG)记录;
在参与前完成临床及精神科评估。

详细说明
复发性妊娠丢失(RPL)定义为在胎儿可存活前(即欧洲标准24周或中国标准28周前)发生两次或以上妊娠丢失,影响约2-5%的育龄女性,并带来显著的生理和心理负担。 除了对生殖健康的影响,RPL日益被认为是一种具有全身性后果的疾病,包括焦虑加重、自主神经系统功能改变以及长期心血管风险增加。
新证据表明,在患有RPL和共病焦虑的女性中,慢性心理压力可能导致自主神经系统失调,其特征为交感神经张力增加、迷走神经活动减弱、静息心率升高以及心率变异性(HRV)降低。 这些改变可能形成恶性循环,加剧情绪困扰、自主神经失衡和生殖系统脆弱性。
为解决这一问题,这项随机、假刺激对照的概念验证临床试验将研究针对右侧背外侧前额叶皮层(DLPFC)——这一关键参与情绪调节和自主控制脑区——的低频重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)能否调节患有RPL和焦虑女性的心脏自主神经功能。
干预方案基于前期剂量探索研究(NEURO-CARD-rTMS-1)的结果,该研究表明以静息运动阈值(RMT)120%的强度进行刺激可显著降低心率且不影响耐受性。 在此基础上,当前试验(NEURO-CARD-rTMS-2)将在右侧DLPFC区施加1Hz节律性rTMS(强度为RMT的120%),通过20个连续刺激窗口(每个窗口60秒:40秒刺激后接20秒休息)实施。 该刺激模式与HRV的极低频(VLF)波段(约0.0167Hz)相匹配,支持频率特异性夹带分析。
主要终点为刺激时间窗口内活性组与假刺激组之间基线校正平均心率的差异。 次要终点包括0.0167Hz处HRV频谱功率变化及脑-心耦合(BHC)——定义为该频率下心率与频谱功率的相关性。 整个过程中将监测安全性结果。
所有心电图(ECG)数据将通过无线蓝牙系统以1000Hz频率持续记录。 参与者将接受基于DSM-5标准的标准化精神评估,并收集关键人口统计学和临床变量(如BMI、血压、用药情况、流产次数及原因)用于协变量分析。
本试验旨在为右侧DLPFC靶向神经调控在改善高风险心理敏感人群自主神经调节方面的可行性和生理效应提供初步机制证据。 若成功,研究结果将支持开发非侵入性、基于脑部的干预措施,以改善患有RPL和焦虑女性的生殖及心血管结局。

有源比较器:real rTMS group
Participants in this arm will receive active repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) delivered to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).
In Stage 1, the stimulation protocol consists of 20 consecutive cycles of low-frequency (1 Hz) rTMS at 120% of the resting motor threshold (RMT), with each cycle comprising 40 seconds of stimulation followed by 20 seconds of rest.
The total stimulation duration is approximately 20 minutes.
Real stimulation is applied with the figure-of-eight coil positioned tangentially to the scalp.
After completion of Stage 1 and the post-procedure safety observation period, participants may voluntarily enter a prespecified exploratory Stage 2 subgroup for 4 weeks of continued treatment and follow-up while remaining in their original randomized assignment.
Participants who enter Stage 2 will continue to receive active stimulation under the same fixed-parameter framework; no re-randomization will be performed.

假比较器:sham rTMS group
Participants in this arm will receive sham repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).
In Stage 1, the stimulation protocol mimics the active condition in timing and coil placement but involves tilting the coil at a 45-degree angle to the scalp, significantly attenuating magnetic field penetration.
This approach preserves the auditory and tactile sensations of stimulation without producing cortical effects.
The procedure consists of 20 consecutive cycles of sham stimulation, each comprising 40 seconds of simulated stimulation followed by 20 seconds of rest, lasting approximately 20 minutes in total.

大体时间:First acute session on Day 1; end of treatment at Week 4; 1 month after treatment; 3 months after treatment.
