Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The investigators investigated the effects of high frequency (10Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the symptoms and cognitive functioning in patients with psychiatric disorders

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of high-frequency rTMS over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in the treatment of symptoms and cognitive functioning in 200 chronic patients with schizophrenia and 200 patients with major depressive disorders

METHODS:

1. Clinical Trial:The study consists of 4 weeks of treatment.
2. Assess Procedures:

2.1 Primary Outcome Variable-Psychopathology: The psychopathology of patients was assessed by three clinical trained staff, who were blind to treatment protocols, using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) or DSM-IV for depression, and repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status(RBANS).Patients are interviewed at screening, at at baseline, 4 weeks, 16 weeks.

2.2 Side effects: The side effect rating scale (UKU) was used to assess the side effect at baseline, 4 weeks, and 16 weeks.

2.3 Weight gain measurement: weight gain every week

Study Groups

rTMS in schizophrenia patients

In active rTMS, 10 Hz stimulations over left DLPFC occurred at a power of 110% of motor threshold (MT) for 27-s intervals with 20s inter-train interval. 20 minutes were administered each day (Monday-Friday) for 4 consecutive weeks

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

rTMS in schizophrenia patients

Intervention Type DEVICE

10 Hz stimulations over left DLPFC occurred at a power of 110% of MT for 27-s intervals with 20s intertrain interval. 20 minutes were administered each day (Monday-Friday) for 4 consecutive weeks

rTMS in schizophrenia Controls

In sham rTMS, all procedures were identical to 10Hz Schizophrenia group except they were the non-magnetized steel cylinders, instead of cylindrical magnets, that were rotated.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

rTMS in schizophrenia Controls

Intervention Type DEVICE

all procedures were identical to "rTMS in schizophrenia patients" group except they were the non-magnetized steel cylinders, instead of cylindrical magnets, that were rotated.

rTMS in major depressive disorders patients

In active rTMS, 10 Hz stimulations over left DLPFC occurred at a power of 110% of MT for 27-s intervals with 20s inter-train interval. 20 minutes were administered each day (Monday-Friday) for 4 consecutive weeks

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

rTMS in major depressive disorders patients

Intervention Type DEVICE

10 Hz stimulations over left DLPFC occurred at a power of 110% of MT for 27-s intervals with 20s intertrain interval. 20 minutes were administered each day (Monday-Friday) for 4 consecutive weeks

rTMS in major depressive disorders controls

In sham rTMS, all procedures were identical to 10Hz depression group except they were the non-magnetized steel cylinders, instead of cylindrical magnets, that were rotated.

Group Type SHAM_COMPARATOR

rTMS in major depressive disorders controls

Intervention Type DEVICE

all procedures were identical to "rTMS in major depressive disorders patients" group except they were the non-magnetized steel cylinders, instead of cylindrical magnets, that were rotated.
