[Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) as a Therapeutic Tool in Psychiatry - Current State of Application in Germany].
The repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) opens new therapeutic options in neuropsychiatric disorders. The use of rTMS in depressive disorders has been most preferably investigated in clinical trials. In Germany, the application of rTMS outside of clinical trials is already increasingly common, not only for depression. Our nationwide survey in psychiatric hospitals was used to detect the current state of the application of rTMS in clinical practice, and should serve as a basis for the development of quality standards.
