Feasibility Trial of Exercise as a Priming Strategy for rTMS Treatment in Difficult-to-Treat Depression
Randomized Trial Assessing the Feasibility of Exercise as a Priming Strategy for rTMS Treatment in Difficult-to-Treat Depression
Forrás: ClinicalTrials.gov · Utoljára frissítve: 2026. szept. 29.
Rövid összefoglaló (regiszter, angolul)
The goal of this study is to collect feasibility data on combining structured exercise aimed to improve physical fitness, and intermittent TBS (iTBS) in treating individuals diagnosed with difficult-to-treat depression who are physically inactive. By conducting this trial, we will compare the therapeutic benefits of the combined approach against the standard treatment of iTBS alone (without exercise). These findings will be used to inform future large-scale projects in which we will investigate, in a larger sample size, whether structured exercise aimed to improve fitness as recommended by most public exercise guidelines (i.e., ≥3x/week, moderate-to-vigorous intensity) serves as an active ingredient that amplifies the effectiveness of iTBS. Ultimately, the insights gained from this study will be valuable for clinicians seeking to alleviate depressive symptoms in MDD through neuromodulation techniques such as iTBS.
