Conditions

MDD

Brief summary

To assess the real-world effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for depression in large adolescent and young adult samples.

Detailed description

This is a retrospective analysis. The purpose of this study is to collate real world data (RWD) from existing medical records of patients aged 12 to 21 years who received treatment with NeuroStar Advanced Therapy for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) as determined by scores on the PHQ-9 and CGI-S assessment tool into a central registry database.

Interventions

DEVICETranscranial Magnetic Stimulation

Patients between the age of 12-21 received TMS treatment for MDD disorder.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Efficacy Outcome8 weeksTo assess the pre-treatment to post-treatment change in PHQ-9 scores for the adolescent patient population. PHQ-9 is the Patient Health Questionnaire is a 9-question patient-completed assessment. Total scores range from 0 to 27. Higher the score means higher the depression severity.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Efficacy Outcome8 weeksTo assess the pre-treatment to post-treatment change in CGI-S scores for the adolescent patient population. The Clinical Global Impression - Severity scale (CGI-S) is a 7-point scale that requires the clinician to rate the severity of the patient's illness at the time of assessment. The total score range from 1 to 7 where 1 is normal and 7 is extremely ill patient.
