Interventional Study.
No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07852065). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Kafrelsheikh University. Recruitment status: ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING. Phase: NA. Study type: INTERVENTIONAL. Enrollment: 182 participants (ESTIMATED). Conditions: Major Depression. Interventions: DEVICE: iTBS; DEVICE: rTMS. Primary outcome measures: Change in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 (HDRS-17) score , Baseline and Week 4 (after the 20th session). Brief summary: This randomised, parallel-group, non-inferiority trial compared intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS, 3-minute sessions) with standard 10 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS, 37-minute sessions) applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Participants received 20 sessions over 4 weeks. The primary aim was to determine whether iTBS is non-inferior to standard rTMS in reducing depressive symptoms (HDRS-17) at Week 4, and to compare patient-reported treatment experience and acceptability between protocols.
