Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in Pregnant Women With Depressive Disorder

University of Pennsylvania·interventional·Posted Dec 14, 2011·Updated Apr 10, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Active Transcranial Magnetic Simulation and Sham Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Major Depressive Disorder. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) will alleviate symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) in pregnant women. TMS uses electromagnetic impulses to encourage neurons in the brain to communicate more effectively with one another. Effective neuron communication is thought to lead to the lessening of depressive symptoms. In this study subjects require daily TMS treatment for approximately four weeks.

Interventions

Active Transcranial Magnetic Simulationdevice

Subjects will be given active TMS 5 days per week for 4 weeks for a total of 20 sessions. Each session will last approximately 10 minutes.

Sham Transcranial Magnetic Stimulationdevice

Subjects will be given sham TMS 5 days per week for 4 weeks for a total of 20 sessions. The sham coil contains a shielding mechanism which diverts the magnetic field away from the patient. The sham treatment will last approximately 10 minutes.
