I just read about a very encouraging rTMS- H-Coil combined treatment done at NIH in 2012 for unipolar depression. At the end of the month of daily rTMS treatment, there was about a 25% improvement in depression scores - the rather modest rate we are familiar with. But when this treatment was followed with 3 months of the H-Coil trestment (deep brain stimulation), the improvement in depression scores was 80%.
If these findings hold up, it will be a great treatment for many, many people.
