iTBS for emotion regulation in bipolar
Brief description of study
The research study is being conducted to examine the effects of accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation (aiTBS), a form of transcranial magnetic stimulation, to the inferior parietal lobe (IPL) in a sample of BD patients who are currently depressed. This project will recruit patients aged 24-65 with symptoms of bipolar depression who have failed (or not shown signs of improvement) after at least one prior treatment.

This project will recruit patients aged 24-65 with symptoms of bipolar depression who have failed (or not shown signs of improvement) after at least one prior treatment.
Participants will undergo two fMRI scans, one before and one after the intervention. They will complete a total of 24 sessions over 4 days, with 6 sessions per day. Participants will be randomized to receive either sham or real TMS.
