NCT04093843

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find alternative treatments for patient's suffering from depression after having a stroke.This study aims to show that accelerated rTMS is a safe, effective,and convenient treatment for patient's suffering from post-stroke depression in the acute to subacute phase. This will be an open label trial and thus all participants will receive the active rTMS intervention.

  • Depressive Symptoms as Rated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale

    Depressive symptoms as rated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Measure of severity of depression -total score of Hamilton Depression Scale ranges from 0 (no depression) to 60 (worst depression possible)

    Depressive symptoms will be quantified before the rTMS stimulation protocol

  • Depressive Symptoms as Rated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale

    Depressive symptoms as rated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Measure of severity of depression -total score of Hamilton Depression Scale ranges from 0 (no depression) to 60 (worst depression possible)

    Depressive symptoms will be quantified immediately after the 4 days of rTMS stimulation.

  • Depressive Symptoms as Rated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale

    Depressive symptoms as rated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Measure of severity of depression -total score of Hamilton Depression Scale ranges from 0 (no depression) to 60 (worst depression possible)

    Depressive symptoms will be quantified 3 months after completion of the rTMS stimulation protocol.

  • Depressive Symptoms as Rated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale

    Depressive symptoms as rated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Measure of severity of depression -total score of Hamilton Depression Scale ranges from 0 (no depression) to 60 (worst depression possible)

    Depressive symptoms will be quantified 6 months after completion of the rTMS stimulation protocol.

  • Depressive Symptoms as Rated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale

    Depressive symptoms as rated by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. Measure of severity of depression -total score of Hamilton Depression Scale ranges from 0 (no depression) to 60 (worst depression possible)

    Depressive symptoms will be quantified 12 months after completion of the rTMS stimulation protocol.
