Brain-Oscillation Synchronized Stimulation of the DMPFC
Brain-Oscillation Synchronized Stimulation of the DMPFC: A Single-Blind Study for Personalized Neuromodulation in OCD
About This Trial
This trial aims to obtain initial evidence about the clinical efficacy and modulation of neurophysiological markers in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) using personalized (i.e., electroencephalography (EEG)-triggered) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as compared to non-personalized (i.e., non-EEG triggered), standard rTMS applied to the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex.

Treatments Being Tested
EEG-Triggered Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
The rTMS intervention will be delivered using the MagPro XP - Orange Edition stimulator and COOL D-B80 coil to the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex 4 cm anterior to the foot hotspot. EEG data will be analyzed in real-time using the bossdevice MEDICAL and TMS pulses will be synchronized to the negative peak of the frontoparietal theta oscillation. 500 consecutive EEG theta-oscillation negative-peak triggered quadruplet bursts with a 5 ms inter-pulse interval will be applied at an average inter-burst interval of 2 s. The therapeutic intervention consists of 30 sessions of 2000 TMS pulses each for a total duration per treatment session of 17 minutes.
Non-EEG Triggered Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
The rTMS intervention will be delivered using the MagPro XP - Orange Edition stimulator and COOL D-B80 coil to the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex 4 cm anterior to the foot hotspot. High-frequency rTMS consisting of 50 trains at 20 Hz (2 s on, 18 s off) will be delivered. The therapeutic intervention consists of 30 sessions of 2000 TMS pulses each for a total duration per treatment session of 17 minutes.
