Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been used as a potential therapeutic tool in various neurological and @entity146 . We reviewed the effects of rTMS as a treatment of @entity191 in this paper. The existing reports have been conflicting regarding the efficacy of the rTMS in @entity1726 . The controversy arises from the differences of the stimulation parameters and evaluation methods of the effects in those studies. Furthermore, placebo effects are common in trials of therapy for @entity1726 . The Japanese multi-center, double blinded, sham stimulation controlled trial showed an efficacy in both the rTMS-treated and control @entity1 . The stimulation parameters used in this trial showed some efficacy; however, the degree of the effects were not significantly different from randomized, controlled @entity1 . The result does not prove the efficacy of the rTMS; on the other hand, it does not rule out the efficacy. Further trials are necessary to reveal the therapeutic effect of rTMS in @entity1726 . Further studies should be performed aiming to reveal the optimal stimulation parameters.
