Abstract

This article focuses on recent research from LMU University Hospital in Munich, Germany, comparing two repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols—10-Hz rTMS and intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS)—for treating adults with depressive disorders. The retrospective analysis of real-world data from 207 patients between 2012 and 2022 found that both protocols yielded comparable reductions in depressive symptoms, remission rates, and response rates as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory. The study highlights iTBS as a time-efficient, pragmatic, and scalable alternative to traditional 10-Hz rTMS in clinical settings, with efficacy consistent with randomized clinical trials. This research contributes to the evolving clinical application of magnetic field therapy in complementary and alternative medicine for depression. [Extracted from the article]
