Study Summary

This study is a stratified, parallel-group, single-center study utilizing multimodal imaging techniques to identify biomarkers for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The study goal is to identify biomarkers for MDD and treatment response that can be implemented in clinical diagnosis and care as valid and reliable measures, through monitoring neurophysiological and electrophysiological changes across the course of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment.

Primary Outcome

Effect size of active stimulation (mean difference in Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score) before and after morning and afternoon treatment course. Higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression; the overall score ranges from 0 to 60.
