Indications
- depression[1] - FDA-approved device for persons 15-12 years[6]*
- migraine[2]
- obsessive compulsive disorder[2]
- diagnosis of dementia
- reliably & selectively distinguishes
* repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can be effective in depressed patients who don't respond to initial antidepressant drug therapy[7][8]
Procedure
- application of magnetic fields strong enough to alter cerebral cortex neuron firing patterns
- applied over left dorsal frontal cortex
Clinical trials
- repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation slowed progression of Alzheimer's disease in phase II trial[9]
Notes
- effective in controlled trials.
