Brief Summary

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

The Investigators propose to carry out a randomized, double-blind trial to compare the clinical efficacy of an individualized connectome-guided accelerated iTBS vs an anatomically-guided (Beam F3) accelerated iTBS. The study team will recruit both inpatients and outpatients who had been referred for TMS for the treatment of depression.

Beam F3 targeting of accelerated iTBS

Patients will receive anatomically-guided (Beam F3) accelerated iTBS.

Participants will receive an accelerated iTBS treatment delivered with a MagVenture MagPro X100 system (MagVenture A/S, Denmark) equipped with a butterfly shaped MagVenture Cool-B65 A/P coil. The treatment course is comprised of 10 treatment sessions daily for 5 consecutive workdays for a total of 50 sessions. Each iTBS session is approximately 10 minutes (depth corrected Resting Motor Threshold of 90%, 60 cycles of 10 bursts of three pulses at 50 Hz, repeated at 5 Hz; 2s on and 8s off; 1800 pulses per session; with a 50-minute interval between sessions). All iTBS sessions will be performed by staff trained and credentialed in TMS according to Singapore College of Psychiatrists guidelines.
