NCT05221632

Brief Summary

The therapeutic effects of high-dose accelerated continue theta-burst stimulation (acTBS) and 1-Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and its neural mechanism were investigated by functional MRI.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Symptom improvement assessed by the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale

    The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale is a test to rate the severity of obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms, which measures obsessions separately from compulsions. The scale includes 10 items, the first 5 items are evaluated obsessions, the rest are assessments compulsions. Each item 0-4 points, a total of 40 points. The lower the score, the better the outcome.

    pre-treatment; 1 day post-treatment; Change from baseline score at 1 month

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R)

    pre-treatment; 1 day post-treatment

  • Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)

    pre-treatment; 1 day post-treatment

  • Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)

    pre-treatment; 1 day post-treatment

  • Stroop word test

    pre-treatment; 1 day post-treatment

  • Behavioral index TMT=TMT-B reaction time - TMT-A reaction time.

    pre-treatment; 1 day post-treatment

Study Arms (3)

accelerated continue theta-burst stimulation

EXPERIMENTAL

Fifty intermittent TBS sessions (1800 pulses per session, 50 minute inter-session interval ) were delivered as ten daily sessions over five consecutive days at 80% resting motor threshold (RMT). The MRI data set should be collected before the first cTBS session and after the last cTBS session.

Device: Accelerated transcranial magnetic stimulation with real coil

1-HZ repetition transcranial magnetic stimulation Stimulation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The repetition transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) lasted 30 mins and delivered at 1 Hz with 1s duration, a total of 1800 pulses at 80% of the rest motor threshold (RMT) . MRI dataset should be acquired before the first rTMS session and after the last rTMS session.

Device: Transcranial magnetic stimulation with real coil

accelerated continue theta-burst stimulation (sham)

SHAM COMPARATOR

Fifty intermittent TBS sessions (1800 pulses per session, 50 minute inter-session interval ) were delivered as ten daily sessions over five consecutive days at 80% resting motor threshold (RMT). The MRI data set should be collected before the first cTBS session and after the last rTMS session. No actual magnetic stimulation was applied on the head of the volunteers. MRI dataset should be acquired before the first cTBS session and after the last cTBS session.

Device: Transcranial magnetic stimulation with sham coil

Interventions

The stimulation mode of TMS is accelerated continue theta-burst stimulation.

accelerated continue theta-burst stimulation

The stimulation mode of TMS is 1-Hz repetitive Transcranial magnetic stimulation .

1-HZ repetition transcranial magnetic stimulation Stimulation

The stimulation mode of TMS is accelerated continue theta-burst stimulation, but without active stimulation.
