TITLE: Antidepressant efficacy of high-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in double-blind sham-controlled designs: a meta-analysis.
AUTHORS: D J L G Schutter
AFFILIATION: Experimental Psychology, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands. d.schutter@uu.nl
REFERENCE: Psychol Med 2009 Jan 39(1):65-75
CONCLUSIONS:
These findings show that high-frequency rTMS over the
left DLPFC is superior to sham in the treatment of depression. The
effect size is robust and comparable to at least a subset of
commercially available antidepressant drug agents. Current limitations
and future prospects are discussed.
