Magnetic Seizure Therapy
• Seizure induction by high frequency magnetic stimulation
• No skull resistance
• Better control over the site of seizure onset
• No direct spread of current to subcortical brain regions
• Earlier - 40-60 Hz stimulation
• Increased stimulator capacity - 100 Hz
• Efficacious as antidepressant

rTMS: MOA / effects
• Acute effects• Phasic activation of neural circuits
• Prolonged effects• Neuroplasticity
► Changes in synaptic efficacy akin to long-term potentiation or depression► Alteration in neurotropic factors►Modulation of cortical excitability►Modulation of functional connectivity

rTMS - MOA
• Depression: left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex underactive c.f. right
DLPFC
• High frequency rTMS (10 Hz) activates the cortex
• Low frequency rTMS (1 Hz) inhibits the cortex
• Restores L-R symmetry
• Produces antidepressant effect

rTMS: Clinical application in Neuro-Psychiatry
1) Refractory depression2) Rx of specific symptoms or syndromes of schizophrenia,
especially:• Negative symptoms • Auditory verbal hallucinations
3) Other (less proven) indications in schizophrenia include:• Cognitive deficit • Catatonic symptoms• Obsessive-compulsive symptoms• Comorbid nicotine abuse (through the decrease of craving)
4) OCD5) Autism, Tic disorder, Tinnitus, Parkinson’s disease,
movement disorders, etc.

Safety: rTMS
• Seizure is the most serious side effect – risk less than 0.1%
• Safety aspects of the instrument needs to be remembered
• Risk Increased: Stimulants, Neurological condition, sleep
deprivation
