Maintenance rTMS for Depression (Maitr-De)
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has emerged as a promising intervention for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), yet substantial uncertainties persist regarding its efficacy as a maintenance treatment. This prospective study seeks to investigate the efficacy of maintenance rTMS in individuals with TRD who have previously responded to an acute course of …
DBS for TRD With the Medtronic Percept PC
Of the estimated 30 million Americans who suffer from Major Depressive Disorder, approximately 10% are considered treatment resistant. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) to a region of the brain called the subcallosal cingulate (SCC) is an emerging strategy for treatment resistant depression (TRD), which involves placement of electrodes in a specific …
40 Hz Light Neurostimulation for Patients With Depression (FELIX)
Recent research in mice models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has demonstrated that one hour per day of exposure to 40 Hz flickering light therapy can halt the disease's progression, and improve cognition and memory. Moreover, recent data suggest that 40 Hz light stimulation may induce neuroplasticity and reduce neuroinflammation. In …
Electroconvulsive Therapy Augmented With Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Treatment Resistant Depression
The RTMSECT2 study was design to compare the application of electroconvulsive therapy augmented by transcranial magnetic stimulation. Subject will be compared both within groups and in group using psychometric scales and different deliver energy
Ketamine Augmentation of ECT in Treatment-Resistant Depression
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical trial evaluating the additive effect of intravenous ketamine in combination with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (MDD). The study aims to determine whether ketamine enhances the antidepressant efficacy of ECT and reduces associated cognitive side effects. …
Identifying Local Field Potential Biomarkers for Treatment-Resistant Major Depression With Deep Brain Stimulation
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a complex and severe mental illness, characterized by multiple symptoms, and is a leading cause of non-fatal health loss. Despite this, approximately 30% of patients do not respond to standard pharmacological or psychological treatments. Currently, we lack objective brain-based biomarkers to differentiate between natural mood …
Spaced Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Treatment-Resistant Depression: A Home-Based Feasibility and Safety Study
The investigators propose a single-arm, open-label study to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, tolerability and feasibility of at-home transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as a treatment for depression, particularly in cases where patients have not responded well to traditional therapies. Treatment will be delivered over a 2-week period with daily weekday …
Accelerated iTBS for Major Depression
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common and disabling psychiatric condition, and many patients do not achieve adequate response to standard antidepressant treatments. Accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is a promising neuromodulation approach that may provide rapid antidepressant effects. This prospective interventional study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness …
Relationship of Peripheral Inflammatory and Neuroprotective Biomarkers With Response to Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation in Treatment-Resistant Depression
Treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is a major clinical challenge affecting a substantial proportion of patients with major depressive disorder who do not adequately respond to conventional antidepressant treatments. Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a non-invasive neuromodulation technique targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, has emerged as an effective treatment option for …
EEG-Guided Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Adults With Depression
The purpose of this research is to see if an experimental treatment for depression called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be improved for better results using electroencephalography (EEG) recordings (brain waves) for individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). This is a feasibility …
