Abstract
Concerning psychiatric disorders, non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques have evolved as a new treatment option. Of note, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is employed in diverse indications including unipolar and bipolar depression as well as schizophrenia. The procedure is considered safe, painless and involving minimal side-effects. In this article, we give a short view on non-invasive brain stimulation and provide a more extensive insight in rTMS as an exemplary technique. In particular, we introduce a graded therapeutical approach in treatment of depression in terms of a standard operating procedure (SOP).
