Brief summary (registry, in English)

The primary objective of the study is to determine the predictive value of the neuroendocrine tests TRH-∆∆TSH (thyreoliberin - thyreostimulin) and DST (dexamethasone suppression test) in the subsequent response to rTMS-TBS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation-theta burst stimulation) treatment, defined as at least a 50% decrease in depression score after 20 sessions of rTMS-TBS.

Prior treatment

  • Patient previously treated with monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressant or lithium salts (within 6 months prior to inclusion);

Other illness

  • Patient with a contraindication to neuroendocrine testing (hypersensitivity to the active substance or to one of the excipients);
  • Patient with a contraindication to rTMS:
    • cochlear implant,
    • cardiac pacemaker,
    • metal clips, stents or other electronic implants within one meter of the stimulation coil,
    • intracranial hypertension,
    • poorly balanced comitiality,
    • in the case of well-balanced comitiality, a neurological consultation with electroencephalogram (EEG) is planned before including the patient;

Other

  • Patient with endocrinopathy ;
  • Pregnant or lactating patient;
  • Patient under court protection or deprived of liberty;
  • Patient under guardianship/guardianship.

Who the study is looking for

  • Patient with a characterized depressive episode defined according to DSM-5 (diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders) criteria;
  • Patient between the ages of 18 and 65 years;
  • Inpatient with an inadequate response to two prior well-conducted antidepressant treatments (Hamilton 17-item scale \[HAMD-17\] score at inclusion≥ 18) ;
