Singapore's Precision Approach for Relief from Depression - Preliminary Results
30 Jun 2026

Tuesday, 30 June 2026

College of Psychiatrists Lunchtime Series (COPLUS)

12:30 - 1:30 pm

Treatment-resistant depression remains a major public health challenge. This randomized, double-blind Phase 3 clinical trial aims to evaluate whether individualised connectome-guided localization improves the antidepressant efficacy of accelerated intermitten theta burst stimulation (iTBS) in an Asian population. By directly comparing individualised connectome-guided versus anatomically guided accelerated iTBS, this study will provide the first Asian-based validation of precision-guided neromodulation for depression and inform future clinical practice and policy in personalized psychiatry.

Join us in this lunchtime presentation and discussion of the preliminary results.
