About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare response rates after treatment with Figure Eight-Coil TMS versus H-Coil TMS on the prefrontal cortex left dorsolateral, in patients suffering from depression resistant. The main question it aims to answer is:

rTBS (accelerated neuronavigated intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation) is more effective than hTBS (accelerated deep intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation) in the treatment of resistant depression in terms of response rate.?

Researchers will compare Figure Eight-Coil TMS (rTBS) versus H-Coil TMS (hTBS) to see if rTBS is more effective than hTBS.

Participants will:

* Receive, for each stimulation method, 8 sessions per day spaced 50 minutes apart, over 5 days. * Have visit all day of stimulation for checkups and tests. * Have a a research MRI before and after treatment. * Have follow-up visits at 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-treatment, via teleconsultation.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients over 18 years of age

Presenting a major depressive episode according to the DSM-5-TR criteria, occurring as part of major depressive disorder (unipolar depression)

The major depressive episode must meet the criteria for treatment resistance, defined by a lack of response to at least two different antidepressant treatments prescribed at an effective dose for a duration of 6 weeks or more

Stable treatment for at least 6 weeks

Disqualifiers

Presence of a contraindication to TMS: epilepsy, intracranial foreign body, cochlear implant, retinal implant, pacemaker

Presence of a bipolar disorder according to DSM-5-TR criteria

Presence of catatonic or psychotic features during the current episode

Presence of severe psychiatric disorders other than a major depressive episode
