(Please Note: The original requirement for comorbid Parkinson's disease has been dropped from this study).\n\nResearch Plan: This inpatient study will provide an initial test for the hypothesis that accelerated rTMS is an effective treatment for depression. Followup testing will help delineate the time course of response.\n\nMethods: The rTMS treatment site over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex will be 5.5cm anterior to the hand motor area. Treatments consisting of 1000 total pulses at 10 Hz and 100% motor threshold will be administered hourly for 1.5 days, totaling 15 sessions. A comprehensive test battery will be administered just before and after treatment, at 3 weeks, and at 6 weeks after treatment.\n\nClinical Relevance: We expect that accelerated rTMS treatments will lessen the degree of depression to the same extent as rTMS treatments of longer duration, but far more rapidly. A much shorter hospitalization would be more easily tolerated. In addition, reducing the duration of hospitalization substantially reduces burdens and costs to hospital, staff, and caregivers, while more rapidly enhancing function and quality of life."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '80 Years', 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age 18-80 years.\n* Patients who meet DSM-IV criteria for Major Depressive Episode, severe, treatment resistant, with or without psychotic features.\n* Consent to treatment with rTMS.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Patients with Delirium or Substance Dependence within the last 6 months.

Patients will be allowed to continue on a stable dose of antidepressants and use zolpidem, since the latter is not felt to affect seizure threshold.\n* Patients who are unable to ambulate independently and complete the assessment protocol.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00248768', 'acronym': 'ATMS', 'briefTitle': 'Accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Depression', 'nctIdAliases': ['NCT00449371'], 'organization': {'class': 'FED', 'fullName': 'VA Office of Research and Development'}, 'officialTitle': 'Accelerated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Depression', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'B3357-R'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'Emory IRB 601-2004', 'type': 'OTHER', 'domain': 'Emory IRB'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'OTHER', 'label': 'Arm 1', 'interventionNames': ['Device: Transcranial magnetic Stimulator']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Transcranial magnetic Stimulator', 'type': 'DEVICE', 'description': 'a device which produces intense magnetic fields in the brain and activates cerebral neurons', 'armGroupLabels': ['Arm 1']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '30033', 'city': 'Decatur', 'state': 'Georgia', 'country': 'United States', 'facility': 'Atlanta VA Medical and Rehab Center, Decatur', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 33.77483, 'lon': -84.29631}}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'US Department of Veterans Affairs', 'class': 'FED'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
