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 investigation also proposes the first study to examine the efficacy of rTMS maintenance therapy in adolescents who have met clinical criteria following acute rTMS treatment. 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.
