Brief Summary: This is a single-site open-label clinical trial of the Stanford Accelerated Intermittent Neuromodulation Therapy SAINT protocol The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new form of transcranial magnetic stimulation TMS-known generally as accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation aiTBS and specifically as SAINT-is effective as a first-line therapy in treating adolescents aged 14-19 years-old in their first episode of depression who have not undergone a full course of depression treatment prior to starting the trial and who remain antidepressant-free throughout the trial

The main questions this trial aims to answer are

Does SAINT relieve symptoms of depression as a first-line therapy in adolescents
Is SAINT a feasible option as a first-line treatment for adolescent depression

Researchers will measure the depression symptoms in adolescent participants before and after SAINT Parents of the adolescent participant will also participate in the study providing information about their experience and preference for TMS as a first-line treatment

Adolescent participants will

Remain antidepressant-free throughout the study period of 6-7 weeks
Receive an MRI of their head for precision targeting
Receive 5 days of aiTBS SAINT
Detailed Description: This single-site open-label clinical trial aims to test the safety and efficacy of the Magnus Neuromodulation System MNS with Stanford Accelerated Intermittent Neuromodulation Therapy SAINT technology in treatment-naive adolescents with major depressive disorder MDD who remain antidepressant-free throughout the treatment The SAINT protocol or a truncated version 5 or 10 applications per day to a customized target within the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex L-DLPFC identified with fMRI for five consecutive days in combination with MNS software will be delivered to each adolescent participant Changes in depressive symptoms will be measured at baseline and two follow up visits Additionally parents and adolescents will answer questions regarding their preference for SAINT as a first-line treatment option for MDD

The hypothesis is that adolescent participants receiving SAINT or the truncated version will demonstrate similar response and remission rates that are comparable to SAINT trials in adults 80-90 as measured by the Childhood Depression Rating Scale CDRS and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of active SAINT in reducing symptoms of depression as measured by the CDRS at the one-month follow up time point

The study will enroll approximately 40 participants and employ a two-arm design with 20 participants per arm The target population is adolescents of all genders and ethnicities who are between 14 and 19 years of age with a diagnosis of MDD experiencing their first major depressive episode who have not received a full course of prior treatment and who are otherwise in good general health Participants must be without contraindications to Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI or transcranial magnetic stimulation TMS and must be able to attend all study visits

This study will deliver SAINT via a MagPro X100 edition MagVenture Skovlunde Denmark TMS device equipped with a Cool-B65 AP coil The stimulation paradigm consists of 5 or 10 daily sessions 25 or 50 total over 5-days of SAINT 3-pulse 50-Hz bursts at 5-Hz for 2-second trains with trains every 10 seconds guided by MNS delivered with 50-minute inter-session intervals 10-minute sessions 50-minutes in between sessions Stimulation will be delivered at 90 of the resting motor threshold with depth correction to account for the distance between the scalp and cortex
