Efficacy and safety of intermittent theta-burst stimulation versus continuous theta-burst stimulation for major depressive disorder and bipolar depression: a systematic review
Among the limited number of available studies, the efficacy and safety of daily or accelerated iTBS compared to daily or accelerated cTBS in patients with MDD or BD were uncertain. Future research with larger sample sizes and standardized assessments is essential to confirm these findings.
