EEG-Guided Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Adults With Depression

Kurzzusammenfassung

The purpose of this research is to see if an experimental treatment for depression called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be improved for better results using electroencephalography (EEG) recordings (brain waves) for individuals with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). This is a feasibility study to test a "closed-loop" procedure which guides the timing of this FDA-cleared form of TMS. Each participant will receive an active experimental treatment, and the timing of the TMS pulses will be at one of three phases in the brain wave of interest.
