Brain stimulation in MS patients may work best at slower rate
A new study suggests that slower pulse rates may improve the therapeutic effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a type of brain stimulation given to patients with movement, memory and depressive disorders, including patients living with multiple sclerosis. Findings from an Israeli and German research team indicate that fewer brain stimulations — a so-called “less is more” strategy — were preferable, as neurons stop responding when stimulated too quickly.

Have you ever tried rTMS? What was your experience like? If you haven’t used rTMS, would you consider trying it?
