Understanding the Common Side Effect of Pain During Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Treatment
The symptoms of depression are bad enough without enduring side effects from the medications used to treat them. Newer treatments without drugs include repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive procedure where patients receive a series of short magnetic pulses over the scalp to stimulate the nerve cells of the brain. Daily 40-minute treatments using a protocol called high-frequency stimulation (HF) are delivered for 6 weeks, however this can be shortened to daily 3-minute treatments using a protocol called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS).

Predicting Response Trajectories for Suicidal Ideation and Negative Mood among Patients with Depression receiving rTMS
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) therapy has been found to be a non-invasive, safe, and effective way of treating depression – even in individuals who do not respond to usual antidepressant medications. In this study, we were interested in how rTMS changed people’s depressed mood and suicidal thoughts.
