Article Synopsis
- Researchers explored the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) combined with citalopram on patients with post-stroke depression (PSD).
- In a study of 100 patients divided into two groups, the TMS group showed significantly reduced depression scores and improved cognitive performance compared to the control group receiving only citalopram.
- The findings suggest that combining TMS with citalopram provides enhanced treatment for PSD without a notable increase in side effects.
