Study Summary

This is a double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled phase II study of the effects of Low Field Magnetic Stimulation (LFMS) on brain circuitry of adults with treatment-resistant Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to double-blind treatment with three 20 minute sessions of either (1) active LFMS or (2) sham LFMS. Resting state fMRI will be performed at baseline and following the third and final treatment session.

Primary Outcome

This is to compare the 6 Item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale from the Screen to after 3 Sessions of Active or Sham LFMS (7 days post-baseline). The Hamilton Scale for Depression 6 item subscale scores range from 0-24. Higher scores indicate greater severity of depression. Total scores are reported with no subscales.

Interventions
