Utility of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in Promoting Rapid Psychiatric Stabilization in Acutely Suicidal Military Service Members
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Neuronetics NeuroStar XPLOR magnetic stimulator - Active and Neuronetics NeuroStar XPLOR magnetic stimulator - Sham for Suicide and 5 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 120 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) provides rapid reduction and sustained attenuation of suicidal crisis. TMS is a treatment for suicidal crisis that is quicker, less invasive, better tolerated, and with fewer side effects than current treatments such as Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) and medication therapies. There will be 6 months of follow-up, in order to establish the ongoing and lasting therapeutic effect of TMS.

Interventions
Localization: Left prefrontal dorsolateral neocortex. Dose Delivery: Figure-8 solid core coil at 120% motor threshold, 10 Hz, 4 second train duration, 10 second interval for 30 minutes. Treatment Dose: \~4k/session, 12-15k/day, 36-45k total pulses. Sessions: 9 in total; 3/day for 3 consecutive days over and above SOC.
Localization: Left prefrontal dorsolateral neocortex. Sham Delivery: Figure-8 solid core coil rendered inert via blocking insert. Dose: Zero pulses. Sessions: 9 in total; 3/day for 3 consecutive days over and above SOC.
