Repetitive TMS more effective than antidepressant switch in nonresponders

An 8‐week study involving patients with treatment‐resistant depression has found that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was significantly more effective than a change in antidepressant regimen in reducing depressive symptoms. The researchers found rTMS was also more effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety and anhedonia. Study results were published online Aug. 7, 2024, in the American Journal of Psychiatry .

Abstract

An 8‐week study involving patients with treatment‐resistant depression has found that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was significantly more effective than a change in antidepressant regimen in reducing depressive symptoms. The researchers found rTMS was also more effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety and anhedonia. Study results were published online Aug. 7, 2024, in the American Journal of Psychiatry .
