Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) Using Different TMS Instruments for Major Depressive Disorder at a Suburban Tertiary Clinic
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a neurostimulatory technique used to modulate orbital frontal corticostriatal (OFC) activity and clinical symptomatology for psychiatric disorders involving OFC dysfunction.
Researchers Discover Novel Brain Mechanism Connecting Depression with Bad Sleep
It is also suggested that while transcranial magnetic stimulation is a growing area of research as a novel depression treatment, targeting the lateral orbitofrontal cortex with this technique could be a beneficial future treatment.
The Use of Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation For The Treatment Of Anxiety: A Case Series
To present a case series of the use of adjunctive continuous theta burst (cTBS) to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) to treat anxiety symptoms.
Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation For Major Depression During Pregnancy
Major depression during pregnancy affects between 8.3% and 12.7% of women, but as few as 12% of these women receive formal psychiatric treatment
Brain Stimulation + Imaging Pack Dual Punch to Treat, Unravel Depression Circuitry
An Interview with Amit Etkin, M.D., Ph.D.
Through Stanford brain research, the depressed feel ‘whole’ again
People with severe depression are experiencing hopeful results with brain stimulation.
Effectiveness of theta burst versus high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with depression (THREE-D): a randomised non-inferiority trial
In this randomised, multicentre, non-inferiority clinical trial, we recruited patients who were referred to specialty neurostimulation centres based at three Canadian university hospitals.
Intense magnetic stimulation could reduce severe depression, new study shows
A new method of brain stimulation designed by Stanford researchers to treat depression rapidly improved depressive symptoms in a small group of treatment-resistant patients who had suffered for decades with no relief, according to a study published in Brain.
