Although repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), ketamine, and esketamine have established antidepressant effects, their effects on suicide outcomes are less reported. Objective: This comprehensive narrative review aims to analyze the antisuicidal effects of these interventions in individuals with major…
Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in US adults. Standard once-daily repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can reduce suicidal ideation. Yet, antidepressant and anti-suicidal effects often take several weeks to emerge, while rapid improvement is often required. Accelerated TMS has…
Data suggests that the available therapeutic tools are still insufficient to deal with suicidality. Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation techniques (NIBS) have entered the recognized guidelines for therapies in psychiatry due to the advantages related to safety and tolerability. Objective: The purpose of this…
Suicidality is a leading cause of death in major depressive disorder (MDD), yet actively suicidal patients are rarely included in neuromodulation trials. Evidence for deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) in this group is limited. Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of…
Promising clinical benefits were observed with d-cycloserine (DCS) augmentation of intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS), presumably by enhancing long-term potentiation (LTP) through NMDA receptor agonism (Cole et al., 2022). However, the applicability of this trial and accessibility of this approach are unknown. Ojective: N/A Methods: N/A Results: We…
