Mechanisms and state of the art of transcranial magnetic stimulation
Abstract In 1985, Barker et al. built a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device with enough power to stimulate dorsal roots in the spine. They quickly…
Chronic repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation alters beta-adrenergic and 5-HT2 receptor characteristics in rat brain
Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been shown to affect mood in health and disease. Evidence to date has demonstrated an antidepressant potential for…
Therapeutic efficacy of bilateral prefrontal slow repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in depressed patients with Parkinson’s disease: an open study
Abstract Recent studies have suggested that both high- and low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have antidepressant effects in patients with major depression. We conducted…
Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the cerebellum in essential tremor: a controlled study
Abstract BACKGROUND: Growing evidence implicates an overactivity of the cerebellum in the pathophysiology of essential tremor. In a small series of patients, we explored the…
Sleep deprivation in depression stabilizing antidepressant effects by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
Abstract Partial sleep deprivation (PSD) has a profound and rapid effect on depressed mood. However, the transient antidepressant effect of PSD – most patients relapse…
The impact of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on pituitary hormone levels and cortisol in healthy subjects
Abstract BACKGROUND: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a new therapeutic tool in the treatment of affective disorders but only few studies on its safety…
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation versus electroconvulsive therapy for major depression: preliminary results of a randomized trial
Abstract BACKGROUND: Many severely depressed patients do not benefit from or tolerate existing treatments. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been reported to benefit depression.…
Effects of different frequencies of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on the forced swim test model of depression in rats
Abstract BACKGROUND: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation has been demonstrated in humans as well as in animal models to have an antidepressant effect, but the optimal…
Transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of mood disorder: a review and comparison with electroconvulsive therapy
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To review repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a mode of therapy for depression. METHOD: The following aspects of rTMS were reviewed and…
Transcranial magnetic stimulation for depression and other psychiatric disorders
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been proposed as a possible alternative to electroconvulsive therapy for the treatment of selected patients with depression,…
