Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Treatment of Medication-Resistant Depression in Older Adults
Abstract
The antidepressant effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) are well documented, but studies to date have produced heterogeneous results in late-life depression.
OBJECTIVE: To address this matter, we evaluated the efficacy of both high- and low-frequency rTMS delivered to the prefrontal cortex of older adults with treatment-resistant major depression.
