Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators previously developed methods for discovering neurophysiological subtypes of depression based on resting state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) measures of functional connectivity (RSFC) in relevant brain networks; diagnosing them in individual patients; and using them to predict individual differences in rTMS response. Subsequently, motivated by recent studies characterizing individual variability in the topology of these functional networks, the investigators have optimized methods for improving the accuracy of these predictions by accounting for individual variability, stabilizing the selection of treatment-predictive features, and increasing robustness in replication samples through regularization. Here, the investigators propose applying these methods to discover novel network-based subtypes of OCD and develop prognostic neuroimaging biomarkers for predicting differential treatment response to rTMS targeting the DMPFC or OFC, which could subsequently be tested in a randomized clinical trial.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
bilateral DMPFC
This arm will receive intermittent theta-burst stimulation to bilateral DMPFC site.
Active bilateral DMPFC
Participants in this arm will receive rTMS to bilateral DMPFC. The DMPFC will be targeted utilizing either Nexstim's eField neuronavigation system or Localite's neuronavigation system. Stimulation intensity will be standardized at 100% of resting motor threshold (RMT).
right OFC
This arm will receive continuous theta-burst stimulation to the right OFC site.
Active right-sided OFC
Participants in this arm will receive rTMS to the right OFC. The right OFC will be targeted utilizing either Nexstim's eField neuronavigation system or Localite's neuronavigation system. Stimulation intensity will be standardized at 110% of resting motor threshold (RMT).
