Identifying patients with non-response for an extension of TMS treatments for depression: A retrospective analysis of clinical response conversion
Extension of the acute TMS course beyond 30 sessions is effective in converting a subset of nonresponding patients into treatment responders. The patients that were most likely to benefit from extension were those that improved the most by treatment 30. While these data may begin to inform extension criteria research, further study is needed to determine a clinically reliable threshold for selection of patients for an extension.
