Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and disabling condition, and many patients do not respond to available treatments. Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (Deep TMS™) is a new technology allowing non-surgical stimulation of relatively deep brain areas. Objective: This was the first…
An acute course of Deep TMS™ typically involves treatments delivered 5 days a week, for 4 weeks. Should more treatments be given if the patient has not responded? Data are needed to inform decisions about the best next steps for acute non-responders.…
Evidence has shown that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be effective as an acute treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD). However, few studies have examined the safety and feasibility of rTMS as a long-term\continuation treatment. Deep-TMS is a novel tool enabling…
The efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in the treatment of major depression has already been shown. Novel TMS coils allowing stimulation of deeper brain regions have recently been developed and studied. Objective: This study aimed at exploring the possible efficacy of…

Co-occurrence of Major Depressive (MDD) and Alcohol Use Disorders (AUDs) is frequent, causing more burden than each disorder separately. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is critically involved in both mood and reward and dysfunctional in both conditions. Objective: The investigators aimed to…

Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (Deep TMS™) has been shown to be efficacious and relatively safe for major depressive disorder (MDD). However, its clinical utility as an augmenting strategy for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) remains unexplored. Objective: To evaluate the clinical utility of Deep…

Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (Deep TMS™) is a relatively new, non-invasive method of stimulating larger and, presumably, deeper brain regions. Objective: This study investigated whether Deep TMS delivered with H-coils has acute antidepressant effects in major depression using a systematic literature review…

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has proven effective. Recently, a greater intracranial penetration coil has been developed. Objective: The study tested the efficacy of the coil in the treatment of resistant major depression. Methods: The study sample included seven patients suffering from…

Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (Deep TMS™) is an emerging and promising treatment for major depression. In our study, we explored the effectiveness of a second antidepressant course of Deep TMS in major depression. Objective: To evaluate whether a second course of Deep…
