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

• “Electrode-less electric stimulation of the brain via
electromagnetic induction”

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

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
• tDCS - 1960s•weak constant current via scalp (1-2mA) using surface
electrodes• clinical improvement similar to antidepressant medication• Recent revival of technique• Safe to use• No risk of seizures• No cognitive side effects• Compact technology• Easy to administer• Relatively cost effective
