Overview

This study is an before-after study in the same subject, which enrolled 26 individuals with high-risk psychiatric syndrome (CHR). The target of subjects intervention relies on the results of magnetoencephalography localization. The medication and dosage remain unchanged during the intervention period or not yet taking antipsychotic medication. The investigators assume that the intervention targets for each CHR subject are individualized.

Description

This study is divided into two parts:

  1. Target determination. Firstly, MEG data of the subject's resting and task states are collected, and a precise localization model using magnetoencephalography is applied to locate the precise location of the subject's abnormal signals in the brain, which is then used as the intervention target. Based on the subject's tolerance for single day intervention, the appropriate number of targets is generally 2-4. The upper limit of targets is 4.
  2. RTMS individualized intervention. Application of rTMS for 1Hz low-frequency intervention, with intervention parameters of 1400 sessions, 100% exercise threshold, and a total of 23 minutes per session. After each target intervention, rest for half an hour to one hour. The pseudo stimulation intervention lasted for 10 days in the first and second weeks, and the scale was evaluated after the end of the pseudo stimulation. After resting for 2 weeks, enter the 3-4 weeks of real stimulation, with 5 days of intervention per week for a total of 10 days. 2-4 targets per day, 23 minutes per target, with 30-60 minutes between interventions for each target. After the fourth week, evaluate the scale. Follow up evaluations will be conducted on the 7th, 14th, 30th, 60th, and 90th day after intervention. By analyzing and evaluating data, explore individualized treatment plans for CHR in clinical practice.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
