Abstract in brief

  • This systematic review and meta-analysis examined studies on Accelerated TMS (aTMS), a variation of transcranial magnetic stimulation designed to treat depression more efficiently by reducing time and financial burdens for patients.
  • The analysis included 18 articles covering 11 distinct studies that used protocols like multiple sessions per day, focusing only on depression and excluding other conditions or preclinical research.
  • The results showed that aTMS likely helps improve depressive symptoms, with the overall effect size indicating some benefit, though the quality of studies could be improved by better sham techniques and blinding.
