Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In this randomized sham-controlled study, antidepressant effects of TBS (cTBS, iTBS and bilateral TBS) will be compared with that of sham-controlled stimulation in patients with major depression. Besides, since previous study showed dose effects of TBS, we will enhance the stimulation parameters to 1800 pulses for 10 sessions (total number: 18000 pulses) and follow up the effects of TBS 3 months after the 2-week TBS treatment to see if any antidepressant effects persist one month after the end of TBS treatment. We will compare antidepressant effects among cTBS (1800, right DLPFC), iTBS (1800, left DLPFC), cTBS(1800, right)/iTBS(1800, left) and sham-controlled group in medication-resistant depressives.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Maudsley staging scoring questionnaires (baseline); Depressive symptoms: Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HDRS-17), Depression Subscales for Somatic Symptoms (DSSS), Short-form McHill Pain Questionnaire(MPQ) and Visual Analogue Scores (VAS)
Manic symptoms: Young Mania Rating Scales (YMRS)
Quality of life: MOS SF-12 quality of life rating scales

Key secondary outcomes

Nerocognitive testings will be also performed twice, baseline and 2 weeks post-treatment, to check their attention (Test for Attentional Performance) and executive function (Wisconsin Card Sorting Tests).
3T MRI and 18F-FDG PET
