Official Title: Aerobic Exercise to Augment the Plasticity Effect of rTMS in Patients With Treatment-resistant Depression
Brief Summary:
Given the growing evidence that aerobic increases cortical excitability and promotes neuroplasticity, the scientific premise for its potential priming effect on the brain is strong.Combining AE with rTMS may produce a neural environment optimized for a robust physiological effect of rTMS, thereby leading to improved depression outcomes.With positive findings, this study would provide preliminary support for an innovative, safe and feasible approach for improving outcomes for this significant public health problem.
