Accelerated Theta Burst Stimulation Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (iTBS-TMS) Pururauka program for severe depressive episode and suicide ideation
The <i>Pururauka</i> accelerated iTBS protocol was associated with rapid and sustained reductions in depressive symptoms and suicidal ideation in individuals with severe depressive episodes and insufficient response to previous medications. These preliminary findings warrant confirmation in future randomized controlled trials.
