Netw. Physiol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an innovative and non-invasive technique used in the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric and neurological disorders. Repetitive TMS (rTMS) can modulate neuronal activity, neuroplasticity and arousal of the waking and sleeping brain, and, more generally, overall mental health. Numerous studies have examined the predictors of the efficacy of rTMS on clinical outcome variables in various psychiatric disorders. These predictors often encompass the stimulated brain region\u2019s location, electroencephalogram (EEG) activity patterns, potential morphological and neurophysiological anomalies, and individual patient\u2019s response to treatment. Most commonly, rTMS is used in awake patients with depression, catatonia, and tinnitus. Interestingly, rTMS has also shown promise in inducing slow-wave oscillations in insomnia patients, opening avenues for future research into the potential beneficial effects of these oscillations on reports of non-restorative sleep. Furthermore, neurophysiological measures emerge as potential, disease-specific biomarkers, aiding in predicting treatment response and monitoring post-treatment changes. The study posits the convergence of neurophysiological biomarkers and individually tailored rTMS treatments as a gateway to a new era in psychiatric care. The potential of rTMS to induce slow-wave activity also surfaces as a significant contribution to personalized treatment approaches. Further investigations are called for to validate the imaging and electrophysiological biomarkers associated with rTMS. In conclusion, the potential for rTMS to significantly redefine treatment strategies through personalized approaches could enhance the outcomes in neuropsychiatric disorders.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnetp.2023.943223","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,28]],"date-time":"2023-07-28T12:44:12Z","timestamp":1690548252000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["rTMS in mental health disorders"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Kneginja","family":"Richter","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefanie","family":"Kellner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christiane","family":"Licht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"569","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brs.2011.12.003","article-title":"Neurophysiological predictors of non-response to rTMS in depression","volume":"5","author":"Arns","year":"2012","journal-title":"Brain Stimul."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"124","DOI":"10.1016\/j.brs.2009.07.005","article-title":"Potential differential effects of 9 Hz rTMS and 10 Hz rTMS in the treatment of depression","volume":"3","author":"Arns","year":"2010","journal-title":"Brain Stimul."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"94","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2009.01.032","article-title":"Low frequency (1-hz), right prefrontal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) compared with venlafaxine er in the treatment of resistant depression: A double-blind, single-centre, randomized study","volume":"118","author":"Bares","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
