Neuromodulation and Attention Deficits in MDD
Sponsor: University of Electronic Science and Technology of China
Summary
Multimodal study (Behavior, TMS, EEG) combining a sham-controlled intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) intervention with an additional-singleton task and EEG to evaluate whether left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) stimulation enhances cognitive control and modulates maladaptive attention processes in MDD and whether the effects are influenced by neuronavigated versus manual (Beam F3 method) localization of the stimulation site.

Interventions
intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) intervention
iTBS protocol: Intervention with an 80-120% resting threshold was used. In the active group, the left dlPFC was selected as the stimulation site and a stimulation protocol with iTBS parameters was given. This was a neuro-modulation protocol of excitatory sequences, with theta burst stimulation at 50 Hz, repeated at 5 Hz, stimulation for 2 s with an interval of 8 s, for a total of 1,800 pulses, with a treatment time of about 20 min/session, two sessions per day, with a15-30 min rest between sessions, and five consecutive days of treatment per week, with a rest of 2 days, and two weeks of treatment.
