Abstract
BACKGROUND Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is an effective treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Two common rTMS protocols, 10 Hz and intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), have comparable rates of efficacy in groups of patients. Recent evidence suggests that some individuals may be more likely to benefit from one form of stimulation than the other. The pretreatment pupillary light reflex (PLR) is significantly associated with response to a full course of rTMS using heterogeneous stimulation protocols. OBJECTIVE To test whether the relationship between pretreatment PLR and early symptom improvement differed between subjects treated with iTBS or 10 Hz stimulation. METHODS PLR was measured in 52 subjects who received solely 10 Hz (n = 35) or iTBS (n = 17) to left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) for the first ten sessions of their treatment course. Primary outcome measure was the percent change of Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology - Self Report (IDS-SR) from session 1 to session 10. RESULTS There was a positive association between normalized maximum constriction velocity (nMCV) and early improvement in subjects receiving 10 Hz stimulation (R = 0.48, p = 0.004) and a negative association in subjects receiving iTBS (R = -0.52, p = 0.03). ANOVA revealed a significant interaction between nMCV and the type of initial stimulation (p = 0.001). Among subjects with low nMCV, those initially treated with iTBS showed 2.6 times greater improvement after 10 sessions (p = 0.01) than subjects initially receiving 10 Hz stimulation. CONCLUSION nMCV may detect physiologic differences between those likely to benefit from 10 Hz or iTBS treatment. Future studies should examine whether PLR could guide prospective treatment selection.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation and intravenous ketamine combination therapy for treatment-resistant bipolar depression: A case report. Front Psychiatry 2022; 13:986378. [PMID: 36213934 PMCID: PMC9532540 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyt.2022.986378] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Accepted: 08/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
About a third of patients suffering from major depression develop treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Although repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and intravenous ketamine have proven effective for the management of TRD, many patients remain refractory to treatment. We present the case of a patient suffering from bipolar TRD. The patient was referred to us after failure to respond to first-and second-line pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. After minimal response to both rTMS and ketamine alone, we attempted a combination rTMS and ketamine protocol, which led to complete and sustained remission. Various comparable and complimentary mechanisms of antidepressant action of ketamine and rTMS are discussed, which support further study of this combination therapy. Future research should focus on the feasibility, tolerability, and efficacy of this novel approach.
