Intensive TMS for Rapid Relief of Bipolar Depression Symptoms

Intensive TMS for Rapid Relief of Bipolar Depression Symptoms

Brief description of study

The research study is being conducted to test whether using high dose spaced theta-burst rTMS (a form of transcranial magnetic stimulation) produces a significant reduction in depressive symptoms compared with sham. This project will recruit patients aged 18-70 with symptoms of bipolar depression who have failed (or not shown signs of improvement) after at least two prior treatments.

Participants that consent to be on the study will be asked to complete the following research procedures: clinical assessments with study staff, self-report questionnaires, neurocognitive assessments, TMS administration, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan procedures.

Participation will last for approximately 3-4 weeks. Your participation includes 5 days of stimulation. This study may provide benefit to individual participants, even though not all participants are expected to equally benefit, if at all, from participating. This study may also further develop advancement of science.
