Summary

The study will systematically investigate the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in non-remitters of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) followed by a serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) trial with the capacity to identify gene variants that predict rTMS response.

DEVICE

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)

Active 10 Hz rTMS will be applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) with an intensity of 120% motor threshold. The L-DLPFC location is defined as that area 5 cm anterior to the motor cortex for activation of abductor pollicis brevis. Subjects will receive a total of 3000 stimuli per session. The TMS trains are 4 seconds on and 26 seconds off for a total of 37 1/2 minutes. Treatment will occur 5 days per week for up to six weeks. Subjects will be monitored during rTMS for any side effects or adverse events.
