ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in emotional bias (Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) Emotional Bias task)
First measured at the baseline session (28 days within the first stimulation session), then measured at the fifth stimulation session, and finally repeated at the follow-up session (within 7 days +/- 3 days after the final, fifth stimulation session)
Difference in shift of emotional bias between participants who receive five sessions of tsTMS (tACS + TMS) and participants who receive TMS alone (the two forms of tsTMS under study will be individually compared to TMS).
PrimaryFrequency of adverse effects and tolerabilityAfter each of the five stimulation sessions.
Total adverse effects score derived from the participant-completed adverse effects questionnaire administered after each stimulation session. The total score combines the frequency and severity of reported adverse effects.
PrimaryParticipant experience and acceptabilityFollow-up visit within 7 days (±3 days) after the fifth stimulation sessionParticipant perceptions of the acceptability and experience of receiving tsTMS or TMS with sham tACS and of participating in the study, assessed through a semi-structured qualitative interview.
SecondaryChange in task-related theta-frequency brain oscillatory activityStimulation Day 1. Pre-stimulation to post-stimulation (multiple timepoints at 5 min and 30 min post-stimulation) within the same session.
Change in task-related theta-frequency brain oscillatory activity following neuromodulation, measured using electroencephalography (EEG). The outcome will compare changes in the fronto-midline theta activity during a working memory task between participants receiving tsTMS and those receiving TMS with sham tACS.
SecondaryChange in Frontal Theta PowerStimulation Day 1. Pre-stimulation to post-stimulation (multiple timepoints at 5min and 30min post-stimulation) within the same session.
Change in resting-state frontal theta power measured using EEG during eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions before and after neuromodulation. Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS.
SecondaryChange in Central Beta PowerStimulation Day 1. Pre-stimulation to post-stimulation (multiple timepoints at 5min and 30min post-stimulation) within the same session.
Change in resting-state central beta power measured using electroencephalogram (EEG) during eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions before and after neuromodulation. Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS.
SecondaryChange in Occipital Alpha PowerStimulation Day 1. Pre-stimulation to post-stimulation (multiple timepoints at 5min and 30min post-stimulation) within the same session.
Change in resting-state occipital alpha power measured using EEG during eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions before and after neuromodulation. Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS.
SecondaryChange in Subjective Cognitive Difficulties (Perceived Deficits Questionnaire for Depression, 5-item version (PDQ-5-D))Baseline and follow-up visit (within 7 days ±3 days after the fifth stimulation session).
Change in subjective cognitive difficulties from baseline to follow-up, assessed using the Perceived Deficits Questionnaire (PDQ-5-D). Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS. Total scores range from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating greater perceived cognitive difficulties and lower scores indicating better subjective cognitive functioning.
SecondaryChange in Choice Reaction TimeBaseline and follow-up visit (within 7 days ± 3 days after the fifth stimulation session).Change in reaction time performance from baseline to follow-up, assessed using the THINC-it Choice Reaction Time task. Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS.
SecondaryChange in Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) PerformanceBaseline and follow-up visit (within 7 days ± 3 days after the fifth stimulation session).
Change in cognitive performance from baseline to follow-up, assessed using the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST). Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS. The score is the total number of correct symbol-digit substitutions completed during the test period. Higher scores indicate better cognitive performance and faster processing speed, while lower scores indicate poorer performance.
SecondaryChange in Physical Activity LevelsContinuously from baseline assessment until the follow-up visit (approximately 1 to 5 weeks).
Change in physical activity levels measured using the optional EmbracePlus wearable device. Activity metrics include actigraphy-derived activity measures and step count. Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS.
SecondaryChange in Gait CharacteristicsContinuously from baseline assessment until the follow-up visit (approximately 1 to 5 weeks).Change in gait characteristics measured using the optional EmbracePlus wearable device from baseline to follow-up. Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS.
SecondaryChange in Sleep MetricsContinuously from baseline assessment until the follow-up visit (approximately 1 to 5 weeks).Change in sleep-related measures recorded using the optional EmbracePlus wearable device from baseline to follow-up. Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS.
SecondaryChange in Pulse RateContinuously from baseline assessment until the follow-up visit (approximately 1 to 5 weeks).Change in pulse rate measured using the optional EmbracePlus wearable device from baseline to follow-up. Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS.
SecondaryChange in Skin TemperatureContinuously from baseline assessment until the follow-up visit (approximately 1 to 5 weeks).Change in skin temperature measured using the optional EmbracePlus wearable device from baseline to follow-up. Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS.
SecondaryChange in Electrodermal ActivityContinuously from baseline assessment until the follow-up visit (approximately 1 to 5 weeks).Change in electrodermal activity measured using the optional EmbracePlus wearable device from baseline to follow-up. Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS.
SecondaryChange in Respiratory RateContinuously from baseline assessment until the follow-up visit (approximately 1 to 5 weeks).Change in respiratory rate measured using the optional EmbracePlus wearable device from baseline to follow-up. Changes following tsTMS will be compared with TMS with sham tACS.
