Article Abstract
Although repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is frequently used to examine emotional changes in healthy volunteers, it remains largely unknown how rTMS is able to influence emotion.We carried out a sham-controlled single-blind crossover study using fMRI, we examined in 20 right-handed healthy female volunteers whether a single high frequency (HF)-rTMS session applied to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) could influence emotional processing while focussing on blocks of positively and negatively valenced baby faces. A single HF-rTMS session selectively influenced the processing of positively and negatively valenced baby faces. In essence, our results indicate that the effects of one left-sided HF-rTMS sessions results in improved processing of positive emotions and reduced negative emotional processing in never depressed female subjects.

Effect of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on the Symptoms and Brain Imaging in Patients with Fibromyalgia Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Trial.

Introduction: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) has been shown to reduce the symptoms of patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). We tested whether rTMS of the left DLPFC can reduce the main symptoms in FMS and whether TMS induces changes in brain functional and structural connectivity, cortical gray matter volume, and the metabolites/neurotransmitters GABA and combined glutamate/glutamine (Glx).
Methods: Twenty-seven women diagnosed with FMS according to the 2010 ACR criteria were included in a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: This research examined the effects of neuronavigated high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS) on adolescents and young adults with major depressive disorder (AYA-MDD) with melancholic features. It also explored neuroimaging differences between melancholic (MD) and non-melancholic (NMD) AYA-MDD subtypes.
Method: Forty-four AYA-MDD participants (14 MD, 30 NMD) underwent 10 daily HF-rTMS sessions over two weeks.

Pain treatment by repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the primary motor cortex (M1) is generally based on the conventional high-frequency (HF) paradigm. Newer theta-burst stimulation (TBS) paradigms are increasingly being used instead of HF-rTMS in various therapeutic applications, such as the treatment of depression. The literature was analyzed until January 2025 to appraise the analgesic effects of various TBS protocols (intermittent TBS, iTBS, continuous TBS, cTBS, and prolonged protocols, piTBS and pcTBS) in the context of experimental pain provoked in healthy subjects or chronic pain experienced by patients.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in treating post-stroke dysphagia (PSD). However, consensus on optimal clinical protocols for rTMS remains unclear. This study systematically evaluated the efficacy and safety of rTMS with different stimulation parameters in the treatment of PSD to provide evidence-based recommendations for clinical practice.

Context: High-frequency (HF) transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is widely used in Major Depressive Episode (MDE). Optimization of its efficacy with a neuro-navigation system has been proposed based on a small randomized controlled trial (RCT) supporting a large effect.
Method: This evaluator- and patient-blind, multicenter RCT assessed the superiority in terms of efficacy of 10 HF rTMS sessions of the left DLPFC targeted with MRI based neuro-navigation versus similar sessions targeted by the standard 5 cm technique.
