Imaging Biomarkers for TMS Treatment of Depression
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) for Depression. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this research is to learn more about how rTMS works to reduce the symptoms of depression. This information can be used to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. The study will use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine changes in brain function after treatment with rTMS. fMRI is a safe and painless technique that allows investigators to observe the brain "at work." The investigators will use fMRI to see what regions of the brain become active when you perform a concentration task and how that activation is changed after rTMS.

Interventions
20 active sessions, within a 4 week period, where subjects receive the same repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) treatment parameters as the sham arm.
