Bilateral Theta-Burst Stimulation of Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Regions for Late-Life Depression: A Randomized, Sham-Controlled Clinical Trial

The active TBS group did not have a statistically significant greater reduction in HAM-D scores compared to the sham group at week 6. By week 12, however, active TBS was superior to sham stimulation in reducing depressive symptoms in patients with late-life depression, suggesting TBS as a possible treatment option for this population.
