Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of identifying the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) using the "5-cm rule" compared to neuronavigation in patients undergoing repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for depression.
- It focuses on Japanese participants and evaluates the correlation between the deviation of identified sites and changes in depression scores measured by the HAMD-17 scale.
- Results indicate that the lDLPFC identified using neuronavigation is about 3 cm more anterolateral than the 5-cm method and suggests that using the F3 site may improve treatment outcomes.
This study registered consecutive cases to elucidate the efficacy of rTMS treatment for depression within the Japanese public health insurance system. Of the 102 patients with depression who received rTMS over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, 44 (43.1 %) patients reached remission and 14 (13.

The objective was to evaluate the effects of MOT on their personal well-being and to assess the impact of MOT on brain function using quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG).
Methods: This study was a randomized, wait-list control trial with assessments performed at baseline, post-intervention (9 weeks), and follow-up (18 weeks) in outpatients with anxiety disorders and depression.
