Comparison of therapeutic efficacy in depression between repetitive TMS and deep TMS.

ABSTRACT: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique with promising potential in treating psychiatric and neurological disorders. By offering an alternative to surgery or medication, TMS could significantly enhance patient outcomes and quality of life, particularly for those with conditions resistant to traditional therapies. With ongoing research advancements, TMS may become a cornerstone of personalized medicine, enabling treatments tailored to individual brain patterns and needs. Although rTMS has FDA approval and dTMS has clearance for treating treatment-resistant depression (TRD), comparative studies between these techniques remain scarce. This systematic review aims to assess and compare the efficacy of rTMS and dTMS in TRD through the analysis of obser
