Clinical Trial: Multimodal MRI-guided rTMS to Treat Refractory Hallucinations
Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Multimodal MRI-guided Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Treat Drug-resistant Hallucinations: a Randomized Control Trial
Brief Summary:
- The efficacy of neuro-navigated rTMS for patients with schizophrenia suffering from drug-resistant multisensory hallucinations will be tested by the implementation of a double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT)
- This study will use a combination of different MRI modalities (fMRI and DTI) to define with precision rTMS brain-targets in the case of multisensory hallucinations
- The investigators anticipate that multimodal MRI-guided rTMS will allow a significant improvement in the efficacy of neuromodulation treatment of refractory hallucinations
Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: University Hospital, Lille
Current Primary Outcome: Severity and Frequency of Hallucinations [ Time Frame: Assessed at baseline (t0) and longitudinally after the 10 rTMS sessions during the following month (D+15, M+1, M+3, M+6, M+12) ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Clinical State [ Time Frame: Assessed at baseline (t0) and longitudinally after the 10 rTMS sessions during the following month (D+15, M+1, M+3, M+6, M+12) ]
Clinical Global Improvement [CGI]/ Positive & Negative Symptoms Scale [PANSS]/ Global Assessment of Functioning [GAF].
For the auditory modality: Add the Auditory Hallucinations rating Scale [AHRS] frequency scale and total score/ Add the computerized Binary Scale of Auditory Speech Hallucinations [cbSASH]
- MRI changes [ Time Frame: Assessed at baseline (t0) and 1 month after the rTMS sessions (M+1) ]structural MRI/ functional MRI/ Diffusion Tensor Imaging/ MR-spectroscopy
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
