This video demonstrates the procedure for MRI-guided repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) to treat depression.

Protocol

All procedures involving human participants have been performed in compliance with the institutional, national, and international guidelines for human welfare and have been reviewed by the local institutional review board.

1. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment & adaptive titration

1. Perform a course of neuronavigated dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) -rTMS, using a total of 20-30 daily sessions over 4-6 weeks. For treatments, use the 120° angled, fluid-cooled coil and the parameters listed below for dmPFC stimulation in each treatment session (refer to Table of Materials).
2. Seat the patient in the ....
