Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and deep brain stimulation

Detailed explanation-1: -ECT and TMS are the most widely used brain stimulation therapies, but there are two other options available: Vagus Nerve Stimulation and Deep Brain Stimulation [VNS and DBS].
Detailed explanation-2: -rTMS – How it Works The treatment involves delivering bursts of highly concentrated magnetic field to the left prefrontal cortex (rather than an electric shock). Unlike ECT, treatment requires no anaesthetic or sedation. A special machine is used and treatment is delivered via a magnetic head rather than electrodes.
Detailed explanation-3: -ECT may be slightly more effective than transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), but patients prefer TMS and would be more likely to opt for it if covered by their medical insurance provider.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are several types of brain stimulation therapy, including electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS or rTMS), magnetic seizure therapy (MST), and deep brain stimulation (DBS).
