About this study

Official title: Research on New Techniques for Diagnosis and Treatment of Neuropsychiatric Diseases - Research on New Techniques for Diagnosis and Treatment of Affective Disorders and Cognitive Impairment

The purpose of this study is to explore the pathological mechanism of cognitive impairment in patients with affective disorder based on brain gut axis research, preliminarily verify the clinical efficacy of new neural regulation technology on cognitive impairment, and establish an evaluation model to predict the efficacy of physical therapy for affective disorder.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Transcranial magnetic stimulationDevice

    Setting up a new target for rTMS. In the past research, the common target of rTMS in the treatment of cognitive impairment of affective disorder was left Dorsolateral prefrontal CORTEX (DLPFC) . The left lateral DLPFC and the primary visual Cortex (V1) both play important roles in cognitive process. The regions with the strongest functional connection between V1 and DLPFC were selected as the stimulation targets.

  • Transcranial direct current stimulationDevice

    Targeted multi-channel tDCS based on individualized simulation scale can be combined with individualized simulation modeling optimization, and based on individual MRI information, through quantitative evaluation and intelligent algorithms to achieve stimulation parameter optimization, reduce the stimulation dose to non-target target areas, and improve target brain stimulation The treatment targeting and aggregation of the area can realize personalized and precise treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Wechsler Memory Scale

    The Wechsler Memory Scale score was used to evaluate the degree of cognitive function, and the lower the score, the more severe the cognitive function impairment. The scoring threshold is 70 points. A lower score means more severe cognitive impairment.

    Measured: 0-8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transcranial magnetic stimulation and Transcranial direct current stimulation in people with Affective Disorder, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hu ShaoHua, M.D (13357169115 ext. +86, dorhushaohua@zju.deu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Wechsler Memory Scale (time frame: 0-8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05596461, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Mar 2023.
