Can rTMS treatments be shorter?
For treatment resistant-depression (TRD), there is a standard form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment. This form lasts for 37.5 minutes; a considerable amount of time for one treatment. The goal of this study was to see if the time rTMS treatments take can be reduced while remaining as effective by using a new form, called intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS).
