Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

Brief summary

This is a multicenter, randomized trial aims to reveal the efficacy and safety of Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) individualized therapy based on the 'emotional loop destabilization' mechanism of PSD .One hundred and twenty participants will be recruited from three centers and randomized with a 1:1 ratio to receive Personalized rTMS treatment or traditional rTMS treatment in addition to routine antidepressant treatments.The data of neuropsychological tests and MRI will be collected at 0, 2,4 and 8 weeks after the commencement of the treatment.

Detailed description

This is a multicenter, randomized trial aims to reveal the efficacy and safety of rTMS individualized therapy based on the 'emotional loop destabilization' mechanism of PSD .One hundred and twenty participants will be recruited from three centers and randomized with a 1:1 ratio to receive Personalized rTMS treatment or traditional rTMS treatment in addition to routine antidepressant treatments. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, after stroke depression (post-stroke depression, PSD) cases were collected and randomized into two groups: individualized rTMS+ drug treatment group and traditional rTMS plus traditional drug treatment group. The main indicators were the effective rate of treatment.Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, after stroke depression (post-stroke depression, PSD) cases were collected and randomized into two groups: individualized rTMS+ drug treatment group and traditional rTMS plus traditional drug treatment group. The main indicators were the effective rate of treatment. The primary outcome is the measurement of 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-24) scores, the secondary outcomes include National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADLs),self-rating anxiety scale(SAS). The record of the adverse reactions and sequelae during treatment and follow-up, with a view to providing a better clinical method for the treatment of PSD.

Interventions

DEVICEpersonalized rTMS+drug treatment

High frequency(10HZ)stimulation of brain regions corresponding to lesion, low-frequency (1HZ)stimulation of the contralateral brain, intensity=90%MT(motor thresholds). Each sequence is 20 times, duration is 10 seconds, each sequence spaced 60s, 20 sequences per day, 1 times a day ,total times is 15. Taking paroxetine 2 weeks, Take 20 mg a day.

DEVICETraditional rTMS +drug treatment

Traditional rTMS treatment protocol parameters: localization of left DLPFC: frequency=10 Hz; localization of right DLPFC: frequency=1 Hz, intensity=90%MT, Each sequence is 20 times, duration is 10 seconds, each sequence spaced 60s, 20 sequences per day,1 times a day,total times is 15. Taking paroxetine 2 weeks, Take 20 mg a day.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
response rateBefore treatment.1week, 2weeks, 4weeks, 8weeks after treatmentCompare the HAMD-24 scores from baseline to the end of the treatment.the response to treatment is defined as at least a 30% reduction of the HAMD-24 total score with a final HAMD-24 score. The score decreased by more than 50% for the treatment of good results.The response rate is defined as the percentage of number of response.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Neuropsychological tests results of SASBefore treatment.1week, 2weeks, 4weeks, 8weeks after treatmentGet the change of the result of self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) by Comparing the change of SAS scores from baseline to the end of the treatment in each group.
Neuropsychological tests results of ADLsBefore treatment.1week, 2weeks, 4weeks, 8weeks after treatmentGet the change of the result of Activities of Daily Living Scale (ADLs) by Comparing the change of ADLs scores from baseline to the end of the treatment in each group.
