About
The Researchers are going to gather information regarding the use of rTMS as a treatment for depression in adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder. The researchers also hope to learn if measures of brain activity (cortical excitability and inhibition) collected with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to identify which patients will benefit from certain types of rTMS treatment.
Full description
Phase I is a double-blind, randomized, biomarker-stratified trial of 1 Hz vs. 10 Hz rTMS. Phase II is for participants who do not respond to Phase I treatment and is a biomarker guided, double-blind trial of continuous vs intermittent theta burst stimulation (TBS). Please note that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) biomarkers will be collected in this protocol during the course of the proposed interventions. Participants in Phase I will be offered enrollment in a separate protocol with baseline and posttreatment 7 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) scans
