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…

Neuroendocrine and behavioral effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in a psychopathological animal model are suggestive of antidepressant-like effects

Abstract The neuroendocrine and behavioral effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) were investigated in two rat lines selectively bred for high and low anxiety-related…

Frequency dependence of antidepressant response to left prefrontal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a function of baseline cerebral glucose metabolism

Abstract BACKGROUND: Recent studies suggest that both high frequency (10-20 Hz) and low frequency (1 Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) have an antidepressant effect…

Therapeutic efficacy of right prefrontal slow repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in major depression: a double-blind controlled study

Abstract BACKGROUND: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive technique for stimulation of the brain, has recently been suggested to be effective for the treatment of…
