Three-Minute Brain Stimulation Found Effective for Hard-to-Treat Depression

Three-Minute Brain Stimulation Found Effective for Hard-to-Treat Depression

A new study finds that a three-minute version of a brain stimulation treatment is just as effective as the standard 37-minute version for hard-to-treat depression.

The treatment is called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which uses magnetic field pulses to non-invasively stimulate a part of the brain called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is associated with mood regulation.

The study compared standard rTMS treatment, which uses high frequency (10 Hz) brain...
