Brief Summary: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of deep brain rTMS Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation a new experimental procedure using the H-Coil in subjects with Major Depressive Disorder that have been previously unsuccessfully treated with antidepressant medications
Detailed Description: This study is a multicenter randomized double blind sham controlled study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of H-coil deep transcranial magnetic stimulation dTMS as a treatment for patients with major depressive disorder who have been previously unsuccessfully treated with antidepressant medications Studies of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation rTMS typically using a figure-8 coil have shown that stimulating superficial brain regions can be beneficial in treating major depression Differing from traditional figure-8 coil the H-coil is designed to stimulate deep brain regions related to motivation reward and pleasure Preliminary studies have been conducted and seem to indicate that through stimulating certain brain areas with the H-coil dTMS may have an antidepressant effect The study population will consist of patients with major depressive disorder who have failed adequate medication treatment or shown significant intolerance to medications The study duration is 18 weeks with a 2 week period of weaning the patient off medication followed by 4 weeks of 5 daily treatments and 12 weeks of biweekly treatments Mood and mental state will be carefully monitored through standard psychological scales and rating during the drug taper-down and throughout treatment
