Has anyone here tried rTMS for depression?
I have doing some research on the internet and it seems to have some promising results. Around 30% remission and 20% response.
I also found that in order to have a good response the position on the magnetic coil should be placed using neuronavigation.
Apparently the results I mentioned above were done using this technique with high frequency. There is also mention that those who respond to high frequency do badly on low frequency and vice versa.
This could potentially be a very effective treatment for most people with depression provided one can work out which frequency they respond to best.
Anyone have any first hand experience with this ?
