Trial Outcomes & Findings for Maintenance TMS in Treatment Resistant Depression (NCT NCT06682299)

NCT ID: NCT06682299

Last Updated: 2026-05-12

Results Overview

One of the most widely used clinician administered depression scales containing 17 items. Scores range from 0 to 54 with 0-7 being normal, 8-16 being mild depression, 17-23 moderate depression and 24 or greater being severe depression. Higher scores equate to more severe depressive symptoms.

Measure
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Patients who have achieved remission of treatment resistant depression through an initial course of ECT (8 to 12 sessions) at the University of Kentucky will be identified by the ECT attending physician as a candidate for this study. They will receive TMS in this arm of study for maintenance treatment of their depression and monitored with depressive scales. Transmagnetic Stimulation: TMS will be given for the maintenance treatment of treatment resistant depression following successful course of ECT (8-12 treatments).
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT)
Patients who have achieved remission of treatment resistant depression through an initial course of ECT (8 to 12 sessions) at the University of Kentucky will be identified by the ECT attending physician as a candidate for this study. If they elect to continue with maintenance ECT treatments which is the current standard of care, their depressive symptoms and cognitive functioning will be monitored accordingly. Electroconvulsive Therapy: Patients will remain in standard of care treatment and receive maintenance ECT treatments for treatment resistant depression

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and prior to each procedure for duration of study, up to six months

Population: One participant was enrolled in this study. Due to the possibility that participants could reasonably be identified due to low enrollment, data cannot be presented.

One of the most widely used clinician administered depression scales containing 17 items. Scores range from 0 to 54 with 0-7 being normal, 8-16 being mild depression, 17-23 moderate depression and 24 or greater being severe depression. Higher scores equate to more severe depressive symptoms.

Outcome measures

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and prior to each procedure for duration of study, up to six months

Population: One participant was enrolled in this study. Due to the possibility that participants could reasonably be identified due to low enrollment, data cannot be presented.

A widely used self-report scale of depression with similar validity to the HDRS that consists of 16 scale items. Scores range from 0 to 27 with 0-5 indicating no depression, 6-10 mild depression, 11-15 moderate depression, 16-20 severe, and 21 or higher very severe. Higher scores equate to more severe depressive symptoms.

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline on initial presentation, at 6 months, and at 12 months

Population: One participant was enrolled in this study. Due to the possibility that participants could reasonably be identified due to low enrollment, data cannot be presented.

Cognitive screening tool that is individually administered battery to measure cognitive decline or improvement. Scores range from 40 to 160. 69 and below is extremely low, 70-79 borderline, 80-89 low average, 90-109 average, 110-119 high average, 12-129 superior, and 130+ very superior. Higher scores equate to better cognitive functioning.
