Abstract

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is defined as induction of an electrical current within the brain using fluctuating magnetic fields that are generated outside the brain close to scalp. In General, health care providers are interested in providing best health interventions to achieve effective outcomes and reduce unexpected results. This article formulated clinical questions about efficacy of TMS among patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The clinical question structure (PICOT) facilitates comparing TMS with other alternative interventions such as antidepressants or ECT. According available literature, among MDD patients the TMS is more effective compared to no treatments model. In addition to that, the evidences analysis showed that TMS is more effective than traditional antidepressants among MDD patients during in patient's periods. The literature also indicated that among MDD patients TMS is more effective than Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) especially for maintenance therapy during inpatient time.
