Stanford Accelerated Intelligent Neuromodulation Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression (SAINT-TRD)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Active TBS-DLPFC, Sham TBS-DLPFC, and 1 other intervention for Treatment Resistant Depression. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study evaluates an accelerated schedule of theta-burst stimulation using a transcranial magnetic stimulation device for treatment-resistant depression. In a double-blind fashion, half the participants will receive accelerated theta-burst stimulation while half will receive sham treatment.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants in the active stimulation group will receive intermittent TBS to left DLPFC. The L-DLPFC will be targeted utilizing the Localite neuronavigation system. Stimulation intensity will be standardized at 90% of RMT and adjusted to the skull to cortical surface distance (see Nahas 2004). Stimulation will be delivered to the L-DLPFC using a MagPro stimulator.
The parameters in the active arms will be as above with the internal randomization of the device internally switching to sham in a blinded fashion.
All patients will have the option to receive active, open label aTBS treatment after the 1-month mark, following the blinded phase. Stimulation will be delivered to the L-DLPFC using a MagPro stimulator or Nexstim TMS device.
