Theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation in depression: when less may be more
Major depressive disorder is associated with increased mortality, significant morbidity, and substantial impairments in functioning. It is estimated that by the year 2020, depression will be second only to heart disease in terms of disease burden as measured by disability-adjusted life years (Murray and Lopez, 1996). Treatment-resistant depression is conventionally defined as a failure to respo...
متن کاملTheta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation in depression: when less may be more.
This scientific commentary refers to 'Efficacy of prefrontal theta-burst stimulation in refractory depression: a randomized sham-controlled study', by Li et al., (doi:10.1093/brain/awu109). Major depressive disorder is associated with increased mortality, significant morbidity, and substantial impairments in functioning. It is estimated that by the year 2020, depression will be second only to h...
متن کاملMetronomic Chemotherapy: When Less May Be More
The use of low dose continuous schedules of chemotherapy (i.e. metronomic chemotherapy), delivered at lower doses by necessity compared to traditional dosing schemes, has become an increasingly popular addition to patient management in veterinary medical oncology. While the concept itself is not new, as low dose, maintenance chemotherapy protocols have been important components of treatment for...
متن کاملTheta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation alters cortical inhibition.
Human cortical excitability can be modified by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), but the cellular mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we show that the pattern of delivery of theta-burst stimulation (TBS) (continuous versus intermittent) differently modifies electric activity and protein expression in the rat neocortex. Intermittent TBS (iTBS), but not continuous TBS (cTBS),...
متن کاملTheta-burst repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder with concomitant depression.
To the Editor: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a potential therapy for major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder that acts by modulating cortical activities. 3 have developed a novel paradigm of theta-burst stimulation (TBS)—low-intensity bursts of rTMS at 50 Hz—as a safer, more controllable, more consistent, and longer-lasting rTMS. The continuous TBS (...
