Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a diagnostic method well established in neurology. As some effects of TMS are similar to those of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), we looked for an antidepressant efficacy of TMS in a semi-blinded monocentric pilot study. Fifteen patients with Major Depress
## Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a relatively new treatment modality for psychiatric patients. rTMS was demonstrated to be effective in the treatment of depression. However, longitudinal outcome studies have not yet been published. Relapse rates are higher in depre
## Objective: This study was designed to evaluate the potential efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) at low-frequency in patients with major depression and schizophrenia. ## Experimental design: We investigated the therapeutic effect of a course of 10 rtms sessions in 1
## Abstract ## Background Beneficial effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) were demonstrated by many controlled studies in major depression. Moreover, this promising and non invasive therapeutic tool seems to be better tolerated than electroconvulsive therapy. Vascular de
