Background: Recently, a small literature has emerged suggesting that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may offer benefit for MDD even in BPD patients, perhaps by enhancing cognitive control, and/or disrupting excessive 'non-reward' activity in right orbitofrontal regions. This study aimed primarily to assess the therapeutic effects of dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC)-rTMS against MDD symptoms in BPD patients, and secondarily to assess whether the therapeutic effects ensued via mechanisms of reduced impulsivity and core BPD pathology on clinical scales (BIS-11, ZAN-BPD) or of reduced alpha- and theta-band activity on EEG recordings of right orbitofrontal cortex..

Objectives: Tinnitus is the perception of sound in ears or head without corresponding external stimulus. Despite the great amount of literature concerning tinnitus treatment, there are still no evidence-based established treatments for curing or for effectively reducing tinnitus intensity. Sham-controlled studies revealed beneficial effects using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS).

We present a successful tinnitus treatment case with intensity and distress reduction in a patient subjected to bilateral 10 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC). Subjective tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ears or head when no corresponding external stimulus exists. Approximately 1%-2% of the population report severe tinnitus with daily life impairment.

Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) shows efficacy in the treatment of major depressive episodes (MDEs), but can require ≥4-6 weeks for maximal effect. Recent studies suggest that multiple daily sessions of rTMS can accelerate response without reducing therapeutic efficacy. However, it is unresolved whether therapeutic effects track cumulative number of pulses, or cumulative number of sessions.
