Abstract | Background: A few sham-controlled studies have examined the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (LF-rTMS) in adolescents with first-episode major depressive disorder (FE-MDD). Methods: Forty adolescents (aged 13–17 years) with FE-MDD were randomly assigned to receive active rTMS (n = 20) or sham rTMS (n = 20) for 10 sessions over two weeks. The severity of baseline depressive symptoms and their improvement on the day immediately after the second, fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth sessions were assessed with the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17). Results: After completing 10 rTMS treatment sessions, there was no significant difference in antidepressant response (70.0 % vs. 60.0 %, p > 0.05) and antidepressant remission (55.0 % vs. 35.0 %, p > 0.05) between rTMS groups. The linear mixed model analysis did not show a significant group-by-time interaction (F = 1.26; p > 0.05) in the HAMD-17 scores. There was a significant time main effect on the speed of processing (F = 13.61; p < 0.05), but this did not differ significantly between groups (p > 0.05). There were no other main effects and group-by-time interactions in the other MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery domains (all p > 0.05). All adverse event categories, such as fatigue and headache, were similar in the two groups (all p > 0.05). Conclusions: In this study that compared a combination of LF-rTMS + medication with sham + medication, LF-rTMS had higher response and remission rates than a sham procedure in adolescents with FE-MDD, but the change was not statistically significant. LF-rTMS is generally safe, with mild adverse effects and no negative impact on neurocognitive performance for adolescents with FE-MDD. Registration number: ChiCTR2000037878. |
