Translation of preclinical findings: The effect of low intensity repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on depression score and biomarkers in patients with major depression
Abstract:Background: Major depressive disorder is one of the most prevalent and costly medical conditions, with approximately 280 million people affected worldwide. It is estimated that 30-60% of individuals suffering from this disorder are treatment-resistant, not responding to psychotherapy or antidepressants.
