Comparison of multiple non‐invasive neuromodulation strategies for depressive episodes in major depressive disorder and bipolar disorder: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials
Our findings provide preliminary evidence that bilateral stimulation over DLPFC is more beneficial than unilateral stimulation for treating depressive episodes. Nonetheless, tFUS may represent a highly promising novel intervention warranting further investigation.
