rTMS in the Treatment of PTSD
Repetitive transcranial magnetic (rTMS) is a safe, noninvasive treatment that involves placing a magnetic coil on a person’s head over an area of the brain called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). rTMS has been available as a treatment for depression in Canada since 2002, and although it has also been approved by Health Canada for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), there are only a limited number of studies that have looked at this.
