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…
The biological effects of magnetic stimulation in epileptic patients
Abstract BACKGROUND: The magnetoencephalogram (MEG) is the magnetic activity emitted by the brain, which can be measured using a superconductive quantum interference device (SQUID). This…
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in major depression: relation between efficacy and stimulation intensity
Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been found to exert modest to substantial antidepressant effects in the majority of prior clinical studies. As effect…
Combining high and low frequencies in rTMS antidepressive treatment: preliminary results
Abstract The antidepressive potency of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) seems to depend on variables such as the stimulation placements, different frequencies, stimulus intensities, coil…
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment of comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder and major depression
Abstract Twelve patients with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depression underwent repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to left frontal cortex as an open-label…
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.…
Three and six-month outcome following courses of either ECT or rTMS in a population of severely depressed individuals–preliminary report
Abstract BACKGROUND: Recent studies have strengthened the claim that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an effective treatment for major depression. The longitudinal outcome of…
Transcranial magnetic stimulation in depression [French]
Abstract Among the new therapeutic techniques in psychiatry, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) seems to bring a profit in the treatment of depressions. It uses the…
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…
