Accelerated Theta Burst in Chronic Pain: A Biomarker Study

Study Description
Brief Summary:
This study evaluates an accelerated schedule of theta-burst stimulation using a transcranial magnetic stimulation device for chronic pain. In this double blind, randomized control study, participants will be randomized to the treatment group to receive accelerated theta-burst stimulation or to a control group. All participants will be offered the open-label, active treatment 4 week prior to completing the initial 5 days of treatment.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Chronic Pain Device: Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an established technology as therapy for treatment-resistant depression and has been utilized to treat persons suffering from chronic pain. The approved method for treatment is 10Hz stimulation for 40 min over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC). This methodology has been very successful in real world situations. The limitations of this approach include the duration of the treatment (approximately 40 minutes per treatment session). Recently, researchers have aggressively pursued modifying the treatment parameters to reduce treatment times with some preliminary success. This study intends to further modify the parameters to create a more rapid form of the treatment and look at the change in neuroimaging biomarkers.

Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: iTBS over L-DLPFC to dACC

Participants will receive iTBS (intermittent theta burst stimulation) to the left dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) with high connectivity to the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC). The L-DLPFC will be targeted utilizing the Localite neuronavigation system. Stimulation intensity will be standardized at 90% of resting motor threshold adjust to the skull to cortical surface distance.

Stimulation will be delivered to L-DLPFC using the MagPRo stimulator.

Device: Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS)
Participants will receive active or sham transcranial magnetic stimulation delivered to the L-DLPFC.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) score [ Time Frame: Pre-treatment, immediately post-treatment ]

    A self-report measure designed to enable investigators to easily obtain sensitive measures of the degree of depression and individual is experiencing.

    Scoring:

    1. Pain Severity Score: This is calculated by adding the scores for questions 2, 3, 4 and 5 and then dividing by 4. This gives a severity score out of 10.
    2. Pain Interference Score: This is calculated by adding the scores for questions 8a, b, c, d, e, f and g and then dividing by 7. This gives an interference score out of 10.

  2. Change in the McGill Pain Questionnaire score [ Time Frame: Pre-treatment, immediately post-treatment ]
    A self-report questionnaire that allows individuals that assesses the quality and intensity of pain that is experienced. The pain rating index has 2 subscales: sensory subscale with 11 words, and affective subscale with 4 words. These items are rated on an intensity scale as 0 = none, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate and 3 = severe. There's also one item for present pain intensity and one item for a 10cm visual analogue scale for average pain.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) score [ Time Frame: Pre-treatment, immediately post-treatment, 2 weeks post-treatment, 4 weeks post-treatment ]

    A ten item diagnostic questionnaire used to measure the severity of depressive episodes in patients with mood disorders.

    Higher MADRS score indicates more severe depression, and each item yields a score of 0 to 6. The overall score ranges from 0 to 60; 0 to 6 - normal, symptom absent; 7 to 19 - mild depression; 20 to 34 - moderate depression; >34 - severe depression.


  2. Change in teh Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-17) score [ Time Frame: Pre-treatment, immediately post-treatment, 2 weeks post-treatment, 4 weeks post-treatment ]
    A provider administered questionnaire used to assess remission and recovery from depression. in general the higher the total score the more severe the depression. HAM-D score level of depression: 10-13 mild; 14-17 mild to moderate; >17 moderate to severe.

  3. Change in the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) score [ Time Frame: Pre-treatment, immediately post-treatment, 2 weeks post-treatment, 4 weeks post-treatment ]
    A self-report measure, consisting of 13 items scored from 0 to 4, resulting in a total possible score of 52 that measures a person's catastrophizing of pain. A higher score indicates a higher level of pain catastrophizing.

  4. Change in functional connectivity as measured by Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) [ Time Frame: Pre-treatment, immediately post-treatment, 4 weeks post-treatment ]
    Participants will have fMRI scans both before the first treatment (baseline) and after the aiTBS course. The MRI scans will be used to identify potential biomarkers for antidepressant response and pain response, as well as identify aiTBS-induced changes in functional connectivity.
