Safety and Tolerability of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation During Pregnancy: A Case Report and Literature Review

We present a case of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment as an adjunct therapy for a patient experiencing refractory epileptic seizures during the third trimester of pregnancy. Notably, the patient tolerated repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation well, without adverse events, and delivered a healthy child. We also summarize the current literature pertaining to therapeutic repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation use during pregnancy.
