Objectives

Narrative objectives1

We will investigate and compare the clinical efficacy of DMPFC-20HZ rTMS, piTBS, and sham stimulation in the treatment of refractory major depressive patients.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

We further evaluate whether clinical characteristics and biomarkers might predict the clinical efficacy of DMPFC-pTBS or 20Hz-TMS and to investigate the mechanism of antidepressant and anxiosomatic efficacy.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

the changing of17-items Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS-17,week-2 vs. baseline) in response to the 2-week DMPFC brain stimulation.

Key secondary outcomes

baseline and the changing of resting state functional and structural connectivity, EEG, paired-pulse TMS-EEG; Cognitive function; Response rate and remission rate, evaluated by HDRS-17; the changing of anxiosomatic cluster symptoms derived from HDRS-17, dysphoric cluster symptoms derived from HDRS-17, Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale(HAM-A), depression subscale and somatic subscale of Depression and Somatic Symptoms Scale (DSSS), Clinical Global Index (CGI),Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS),Rumination response scale (RRS), Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS), UCLA loneliness scale, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS), Taiwan Cognition. Questionnaire (TCQ); the predictive values of Maudsley Staging method for refractoriness and TRD severity scale (TRDSS).
