Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
All patients will be closely matched for gender and age with 50 never-depressed medication-free healthy volunteers. Only baseline measurements will be collected: no volunteer will undergo the treatment.
We expect that real Theta burst treatment and not sham will result in a significant and clinical meaningful response.

Study Groups

Theta burst stimulation
Specific developed sham coil.
Theta burst stimulation.
In each session, subjects will receive 54 Theta burst trains of 2 seconds duration, separated by an intertrain interval of 18 seconds, delivered on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). The treatment protocol of in total 20 Theta burst sessions will be spread over 4 days, yielding a total of 32400 stimuli. On each stimulation day, a given patient shall receive 5 sessions with a between session delay of 10 to 15 minutes.
