| Orthopaedic Trauma | Device: Accelerated intermittent theta burst treatment | Not Applicable |
A large percentage of orthopaedic trauma patients suffer from psychiatric distress and chronic pain related to their injury and underlying psychosocial factors; this predicts poor post-injury recovery.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a neuromodulation technique used to stimulate areas of the brain that may modulate symptoms of pain, depression, and post-traumatic stress. The FDA-approved rTMS protocol for treatment is 10Hz stimulation for 40 minutes over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (L-DLPFC) for the treatment of depression. This methodology has been very successful in real world situations, however poses some limitations, including the duration of the treatment session (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 will use modified parameters to create a more rapid form of treatment and look at outcome changes in pain and depression, commonly seen in orthopaedic trauma patients.

Experimental: Accelerated intermittent theta burst treatment
All participants will receive accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation.
|
Device: Accelerated intermittent theta burst treatment
All participants will receive accelerated intermittent theta-burst stimulation to the left DLPFC. Stimulation intensity will be standardized to 80% of resting motor threshold. Stimulation will be delivered to L-DLPFC using the Brainsway stimulator. |
In a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), patients are asked to make three pain ratings, corresponding to current, best and worst pain experienced over the past 24 hours.
The average of the 3 ratings is used to represent the patient's level of pain over the previous 24 hours.
Patients are asked to circle the number between 0 and 10 (first rating), 0 and 20 (second rating) and 0 and 100 (third rating) that fits best to their pain intensity. Zero usually represents 'no pain at all' whereas the upper limit represents 'the worst pain ever possible'.
The PCL-5 is a 20-item self-report measure that assesses the 20 DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD. It takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. It uses a 5-point Likert scale (0 = "Not at all" to 4 = "Extremely") to rate symptoms of PTSD. Scores can range from 0 to 60, with a cut-off score of 33 indicating a provisional diagnosis of PTSD until further psychometric work is available.
The PCL-5 has a variety of purposes, including:
When necessary, the PCL-5 can be scored to provide a provisional PTSD diagnosis.

| Current Primary Outcome Measures ICMJE |
Change from baseline in the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) [ Time Frame: Baseline and immediate post-stimulation (up to 10 minutes to complete questionnaire) ] The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) (Zigmond & Snaith, 1983) is a 14-item measure designed to assess anxiety and depression symptoms in medical patients, with emphasis on reducing the impact of physical illness on the total score. The depression items tend to focus on the anhedonic symptoms of depression. Items are rated on a 4-point severity scale (0 to 3). Overall scores range from 0 to 42, with lower scores corresponding to fewer symptoms. The HADS produces two scales, one for anxiety (HADS-A) and one for depression (HADS-D), differentiating the two states; each subscale score ranges from 0 to 21, with lower scores corresponding to fewer symptoms. Scores of greater than or equal to 11 on either HADS-A or HADS-D scales indicate a definitive case of anxiety and/or depression, respectively.

| Brief Summary | This study evaluates an accelerated schedule of theta-burst stimulation using a transcranial magnetic stimulation device for orthopaedic trauma patients. In this open label study, all participants will receive accelerated theta-burst stimulation. This study will examine whether symptoms of psychiatric distress and opioid use in orthopaedic trauma patients can be mitigated with rTMS to improve post-injury recovery. | ||||||
