Study Summary
This research proposal aims to better understand the neurobiology of depression in adolescents and how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may therapeutically impact brain function and mood. This study will be the first to use a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled approach to the investigation of rTMS therapy for depressed adolescents. This approach will allow for the validation of rTMS treatment outcomes in the depressed adolescent population in a scientifically rigorous manner. The magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy pattern of rTMS response will be analyzed according to previously established protocols.
Primary Outcome
The Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R) is a validated, 17-item, semi-structured clinician rating tool to assess severity of depression with subject and parental input for 14 of the 17 items.
Interventions
