Objectives

Narrative objectives1

A main purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate safety and efficacy, including antidepressant effect and prefrontal cognitive enhancement, of rTMS applied to medication-resistant major depression, compared with sham-control group. Moreover, rTMS-induced alterations are longitudinally investigated using MRI, EEG, and heart rate variability (vagal function). Furthermore, two different protocols of rTMS (high and low frequency rTMS) are compared in terms of safety, efficacy, and neurobiological changes.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

1) Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (Ham-D) 17items and 24items: weekly evaluation
2) rTMS side effects questionnaire, which was translated in Japanese from original version of Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation, Harvard Medical School.: evaluated every rTMS session

Key secondary outcomes

3) Beck Depression Inventry II (BDI-II): weekly evaluation
4) State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI): weekly evaluation
5) Neuropsychological Testings (Verbal Fluency Test; VFT, Wisconsin Card Sorting Test; WCST, Color Stroop Test; CST, Trail Making Test; TMT): biweekly evaluation
