Sažetak
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: After three decades of clinical research on repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), major depressive disorder (MDD) has proven to be the primary field of application. MDD poses a major challenge for health systems worldwide, emphasizing the need for improving clinical efficacy of existing rTMS applications and promoting the development of novel evidence-based rTMS treatment approaches. RECENT FINDINGS: Several promising new avenues have been proposed: novel stimulation patterns, targets, and coils ; combinatory treatments and maintenance ; and personalization and stratification of rTMS parameters, and treatment of subpopulations. SUMMARY: This opinion review summarizes current knowledge in the field and addresses the future direction of rTMS treatment in MDD, facilitating the establishment of this clinical intervention method as a standard treatment option and continuing to improve response and remission rates, and take the necessary steps to personalize rTMS-based treatment approaches.
