Resting-state Functional Connectivity Throughout a Course of iTBS in Major Depression

NCT03944213 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Last updated 2022-05-25

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study aims to investigate changes in functional connectivity over a four week treatment course with intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). To this end, seven weekly resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) scans at 7 tesla (7T) will precede, accompany and follow the iTBS treatment course. By obtaining several samples of the modulatory effects of iTBS on functional connectivity networks and simultaneous measurements of the depressive symptoms it will be possible to assess the time course of changes in connectivity across different networks, and to assess the overall relationship between the network modulation and the antidepressant effects of the treatment over time.
