Trial Outcomes & Findings for iTBS in Refractory Pediatric Depression (NCT NCT03845504)

NCT ID: NCT03845504

Last Updated: 2023-12-12

Results Overview

Standardized assessment to determine depression severity. The CDRS-R total score is the sum of the responses to 17 questions. Each question is graded on a 5- or 7-point scale. Total score ranges from 17-113. In general, higher values of CDRS-R total score represent greater severity of illness. Response to treatment is determined by a ≥ 50% reduction in score from baseline to end of treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and week 6

Standardized assessment to determine depression severity. HDRS-17, a clinician-rated measure of depressive symptoms that consists of 17 items rated using a semi-structured interview. Eight of the 17 HDRS-17 items are rated on a 5-point scale (0=absent; 1=doubtful or mild; 2=mild to moderate; 3=moderate to severe; 4=very severe), while the remaining 9 items are rated on a 3-point scale (0=absent; 1=doubtful or mild; 2=clearly present), yielding a minimum total score of 0 (least severe) and a maximum score of 52 (most severe). Response to treatment is determined by a ≥ 50% reduction in score from baseline to end of treatment.
