Parcel-Guided rTMS for Treatment-Resistant Depression: 6 of 11 Remitted in Pilot

MHD card showing a dark violet mosaic of irregular brain-atlas parcels, with three highlighted parcels meeting at a glowing crosshair target beneath a figure-eight TMS coil, illustrating parcel-guided rTMS for treatment-resistant depression.

Researchers aimed repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain cells, at a spot chosen from each person’s own brain scan. In a small Columbia University pilot, 6 of 11 adults with treatment-resistant depression ended with low depression scores that met the trial’s remission threshold.1 The study is a medRxiv preprint …
