2. Transcranial magnetic stimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcranial_magnetic...

   Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive neurotherapy, a form of brain stimulation in which a changing magnetic field is used to induce an electric current at a specific area of the brain through electromagnetic induction. An electric pulse generator, or stimulator, is connected to a magnetic coil connected to the scalp. The ...

3. Treatment-resistant depression - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treatment-resistant_depression

   rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) is gradually becoming recognised as a valuable therapeutic option in treatment-resistant depression. A number of randomised placebo-controlled trials have compared real versus sham rTMS. These trials have consistently demonstrated the efficacy of this treatment against major depression.

4. Management of depression - Wikipedia

   The risk factors [110] for treatment resistant depression are: the duration of the episode of depression, severity of the episode, if bipolar, lack of improvement in symptoms within the first couple of treatment weeks, anxious or avoidant and borderline comorbidity and old age. Treatment resistant depression is best handled with a combination ...

   Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or deep transcranial magnetic stimulation is a noninvasive method used to stimulate small regions of the brain. [235] TMS was approved by the FDA for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (trMDD) in 2008 [ 236 ] and as of 2014 evidence supports that it is probably effective. [ 237 ]

   George received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to use TMS to treat depression. It is thought to be especially effective to treat people whose depression does not respond to antidepressant medications. [3] George has also been integral to the research on using fMRI as a method of lie detection. This research indicates that ...

7. Neurostimulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurostimulation

   TMS can be used for therapy particularly in psychiatry, as a tool to measure central motor conduction and a research tool to study different aspects of human brain physiology such as motor function, vision, and language. The rTMS method has been used to treat epilepsy with rates of 8–25 Hz for 10 seconds.
