Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Score of Child Depression Rating Scale-Revised
For clinical depression symptom assessment
Score of Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation
For the quantitative assessment of suicidal ideation
Score of Iowa Gambling Task
The simulation of the real decision situation is a kind of decision making task in the fuzzy situation accompanied by corresponding rewards and punishments
Score of THINC-it test
The test includes Spotter, Symbol check, Codebreaker, Trails, and the 5-item Depression Cognitive Deficit Questionnaire (PDQ-5-D). It is used to assess working memory, executive function and attention
Hypocretin
Hypocretin is a neurotransmitter that regulates wakefulness and appetite
Endocannabinoid
Endocannabinoid play an important role in regulating many functions in the body, including the inflammatory system, immune function, sleep, appetite, digestion, pain receptors, hormones, reproductive function and memory
Neuroimmune-related factors
Such as IL-lβ、IL-6、TNF-α
Neurotrophic pathway related factors
Such as BDNF、VGF、TrkB、tPA
Near infrared functional imaging of the brain
Near infrared functional brain imaging can reflect the activation degree of brain function and functional connectivity of brain by detecting the concentration changes of oxygenated hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin in the target brain area.
Change in working memory test scores after intervention
The working memory test consists of two parts, which measure the breadth and accuracy of working memory respectively. The breadth of working memory will be tested using the operating span experiment, as the accuracy of working memory will be tested using the Memory Orientation experiment
Change in three component test of executive function scores after intervention
The three component tests of executive function were one-backward test, anti-saccade and shifting test respectively.In the one-backward test, subjects need to memorize letters while counting numbers, scoring them according to the accuracy of the alphabetic memory order; The anti-saccade test asks subjects to react to a flash of arrows (0.5 seconds) by selecting the direction they see on a keyboard;The shifting test asked subjects to select a forward or reverse feedback key depending on where the icon appeared
TMS-Evoked potential
The integration of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) is a valuable method for directly probing excitability, connectivity and oscillatory dynamics of regions throughout the brain. Offering in depth measurement of cortical reactivity, TMS-EEG allows the evaluation of TMS-evoked components that may act as a marker for cortical excitation and inhibition.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Functional magnetic resonance brain imaging can reflect the functional and metabolic information of neurons before morphological changes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Score of 24-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale
For clinical depression symptom assessment
Ottawa Self-injury Questionnaire
To evaluate the situation of NSSI among adolescents
Score of Childhood Trauma Questionnaire
Used to assess traumatic experiences in childhood

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
In order to realize the early identification, risk warning and comprehensive intervention of adolescent depression, this project carried out research on the diagnosis platform of adolescent depression, the construction of suicide risk warning and evaluation system, the development of interpersonal psychotherapy technology (IPT-A), and the rapid intervention technology of robotic navigation repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). Through the extraction of psychological, peripheral and central biological characteristics of adolescent depression and the establishment of a diagnostic platform, combined with artificial neural network to achieve efficient and accurate identification of high risk of suicide population. Antidepressant drugs combined with psychotherapy and antidepressant drugs combined with rTMS physical therapy were used to improve the clinical effective rate and recovery rate. Finally, a comprehensive prevention and control technology suitable for hospitals, schools and families to participate in.
Detailed Description
The interaction of symptoms, psychological indicators (including environmental risk factors and neuropsychology), peripheral biology (peripheral neuroimmunity, neurotrophic factors and neuroendocrine related indicators), central biological indicators (neuroimaging, near-infrared functional brain imaging) and brain-derived exosome detection in peripheral blood was constructed based on artificial intelligence technology The network of clinical diagnosis platform, and according to the high and low suicide risk classification of deep learning, the establishment of adolescent depression early identification and suicide risk warning system. To develop a simplified interpersonal psychotherapy technique (IPT-A) for adolescent depression. Research and development of rTMS neuroregulation technology for precise positioning of robot navigation in adolescent depression. Construct comprehensive intervention models and efficacy prediction models for adolescent depression, such as drug combined with psychology and drug combined with physical therapy, and promote and demonstrate the application.
