A randomized sham-controlled trial of high-dosage accelerated intermittent theta burst rTMS in major depression: study protocol

Abstract Background Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), a novel form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), can be administered in 1/10th of the time of standard rTMS (~ 3 min vs. 37.5 min) yet achieves similar outcomes in depression.
