Individualized (fMRI-Guided) TMS Treatment for Depression
The purpose of this study is to investigate brain responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in individuals diagnosed with depression. To achieve this, we will combine Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques with TMS to explore the relationship between activity in a specific brain region and TMS stimulation before, during, and after a full TMS treatment intervention.
Study participation will include completing various questionnaires, clinical assessments, receiving a full transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment intervention (every weekday for 6 weeks), and undergoing MRI scans, both with and without concurrent TMS. In-person participation will last for approximately 10 weeks, but there may be possible delays (~2-3 weeks) due to scheduling availability, MRI scanner availability, or other unforeseen circumstances. In addition, participants will be asked to complete remote follow-up assessments at 1, 6, and 12 months post-TMS treatment.
