Low Field Magnetic Stimulation for Treatment Resistant Depression

Active Low Field Magnetic Stimulation treatments will be delivered with a prototype LFMS device manufactured by Tal Medical. LFMS sessions consist of proton echo-planar magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (EP-MRSI) and will be 20min in duration. LFMS exposes subjects to magnetic fields of the same magnitude and frequency used in clinical MR-Spectroscopic imaging of the brain.

Sham Low Field Magnetic Stimulation will consist of a three-dimensional spoiled gradient echo sequence of the same duration as active LFMS and which provides auditory stimulation indistinguishable from active treatment.
