Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) has been proposed as a treatment method for patients with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Objective: To report on the treatment of two unmedicated patients with severe ADHD, combined type, using the dTMS H7 coil over the right prefrontal cortex. …
Studies of the pathophysiology of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) have exemplified hemispheric asymmetry that possibly typifies ADHD patients from controls with right prefrontal under activation. Recent studies support possible effectiveness of rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) as treatment for ADHD. Deciding about the target for stimulation is complex as there is…
Adolescent depression is a critical and growing public health concern, with high rates of treatment resistance and limited effective interventions. Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) has been previously validated for adults, but data on its use in adolescents remain limited. Objective:To…
This systematic review aimed to evaluate and compare the safety and effectiveness of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) with high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) for individuals diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD). The study was motivated by the inconsistent findings of prior studies comparing dTMS and HF-rTMS for depression treatment. The…
Of late, the interest in accelerated treatment protocols in repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for the treatment of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has been gaining momentum. Studies have already found that the patterned theta burst stimulation is non-inferior to the standard…
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an intervention for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) that modulates neural activity. Deep TMS (dTMS) can target not only cortical but also deeper limbic structures implicated in depression. Although TMS has demonstrated safety in adolescents, dTMS has yet to…
Late-life depression (LLD) is a growing worldwide problem due to demographic changes, with limited treatment options due to high rates of pharmacotherapy adverse effects, accessibility of psychotherapy, and tolerability of electroconvulsive therapy. Novel neuromodulation techniques, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS),…
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an effective and well-established treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD). Deep TMS utilizes specially designed H-Coils to stimulate the deep and broad cerebral regions associated with the reward system. The improved depth penetration of Deep TMS…
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a pervasive psychiatric condition effecting approximately 21 million adults in the U.S. (8.4%). An estimated 30–60% of patients are resistant to traditional treatment approaches (medications and talk-therapy), alluding to the need for additional options. Two promising treatment…
In the last couple of decades, newer treatment modalities, including neuromodulation through brain stimulation and psychosurgery have been examined to treat SRI-resistant OCD. A systematic review of brain stimulation treatments for resistant OCD suggested the efficacy of low-frequency TMS over the supplementary…
Anxiety disorders, including occupational stress and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), are prevalent mental health conditions with significant impacts on individuals' daily functioning and quality of life. Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that holds promise in alleviating…
Evidence suggests that depressive symptoms tend to improve concurrently with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptoms during cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), despite depression not being the primary target of intervention. Studies examining the temporal or mediational relationships of OCD and depressive symptoms have indicated…
The background highlights the challenges faced by veterans with TRD, suicide risk, and PTSD symptoms, emphasizing the need for effective and durable treatment options. Objective: The primary objective is to assess the durability of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation in improving symptoms of…
It is normal for people to feel sad occasionally or have less enthusiasm for tasks that they once loved to do. However, when these feelings persist for an extended period, they may be a symptom of depression. Depression isn’t a defect of…
We conducted a direct comparison of the analgesic effects resulting from "superficial" and "deep" repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied to the primary motor cortex in patients with central neuropathic pain. A total of fifty-nine consecutive patients were randomly assigned to receive…
Prior research has underscored the importance of cravings in substance use disorders (SUDs) and the potential of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in mitigating these cravings. Crucial brain regions, including the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), are implicated…
Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) involves an excessive preoccupation with a perceived physical flaw, leading to impaired functioning. There is currently no FDA-approved treatment for BDD, and many patients do not respond to standard therapies. Neuromodulation, particularly deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS), emerges…
Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) represents an innovative non-invasive neuromodulation method built upon repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation technology. The novel H-coil brings notable benefits to the treatment and mechanistic exploration of psychiatric and neurological disorders, attributed to its ability to stimulate deep…
