Abstract

Our meta-analysis demonstrated that intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS)/bilateral-TBS (Bi-TBS) and high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (HF-rTMS)/bilateral-rTMS (Bi-rTMS) had similar efficacy, acceptability, and safety profiles for antidepressant treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (AD-TRD). In our sensitivity analysis that excluded a study that compared Bi-TBS with Bi-rTMS for older adults, all efficacy outcomes were also comparable between iTBS and HF-rTMS. Because iTBS does not require higher stimulation intensity and a longer stimulus time than conventional HF-rTMS protocols, we speculated that for those with AD-TRD, iTBS/Bi-TBS is a more helpful therapeutic modality in clinical practice than HF-rTMS/Bi-rTMS.
