TMS and antipsychotics in the treatment of depression
In the treatment of depression , intermittent transcranial theta stimulation is used for one to three minutes as an additional method of treatment in patients with this disease.
Some studies have shown that blocking the dopamine D2 receptor alters the therapeutic effect of intermittent theta stimulation.
An analysis of the case histories of 105 patients with depression, resistant to drug treatment, showed that dorsolateral prefrontal intermittent theta stimulation had a positive result with additional intake of drugs from the antipsychotic group.
