Retrospective Safety and Efficacy of the DeepTMS in a variety of pathologies including refractory Major Depression, Bipolar Depression, Parkinsońs Disease, negative symptoms of Schizophrenia and Stroke in a clinical setting; an update on the post-Marketing experience in Chile
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been proposed as add-on for the treatment of various pathologies, including refractory Major Depression (MD), Bipolar Depression (BD), Parkinsońs Disease (PD), negative symptoms of Schizophrenia (NS) and Stroke (ST). However, the effectiveness of the conventional rTMS in clinical settings is currently being debated. The novel Deep TMS H-coils can effectively stimulate deeper and larger brain regions than conventional rTMS coils, including the complete thickness of motor and prefrontal cortices, suggesting greater potential clinical efficacy.
