Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an effective treatment in major depressive disorder (MDD). However, intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) and rTMS protocols using 10 Hz stimulation frequency might differ in their effect on neuroplasticity and on clinical symptoms. This study compares the effect of iTBS and a novel 10 Hz-rTMS with shortened single session duration, on motor excitability and neuroplasticity and on clinical symptoms in MDD.
