The Purpose of the Study is to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of dTMS for Reducing Antipsychotic-induced Weight Gain

Brief Summary

Antipsychotic-induced metabolic disturbances, especially weight gain, are common in patients with schizophrenia. There are no hitherto effective treatments for reducing antipsychotic-induced weight gain. Recently, research suggest that Accelerated dTMS (a-dTMS) which deliver more than one daily TMS session indicates greater efficacy than other TMS treatment. Symptom provocation is believed to improve the clinical responses to TMS. In this study, we, firstly, evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a-dTMS for reducing antipsychotic-induced weight gain and secondly, to establish a predictive model of therapeutic response and to explore the underlying mechanisms of dTMS for reducing antipsychotic-induced weight gain, based on multimodal radiomics and metabolomics approaches.
