Depression-Reduction by Accelerated Personalized NeuroModulation and Its Effects on Sleep

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Dec 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Advances in repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols with intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) have significantly decreased the duration for one single session and thereby enabled accelerated treatment plans with multiple sessions per day, potentially reducing the total treatment duration. This randomized, placebo-controlled study investigates the effects of accelerated iTBS treatment with connectivity-informed neuronavigation on symptom severity, sleep, interoception, and cognitive control in patients with major depressive disorder and with or without comorbid borderline personality disorder using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
