Efficacy of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Non-Cardiac Major Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial. [PDF]
In this double‐blind randomized controlled trial, preoperative 10‐Hz rTMS targeting the left DLPFC reduced postoperative delirium within 7 days in older adults undergoing elective non‐cardiac surgery compared with sham stimulation and was well tolerated.

Preconditioning of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with transcranial direct current stimulation: evidence for homeostatic plasticity in the human motor cortex [PDF]
Recent experimental work in animals has emphasized the importance of homeostatic plasticity as a means of stabilizing the properties of neuronal circuits. Here, we report a phenomenon that indicates a homeostatic pattern of cortical plasticity in healthy

Poor Tolerance of Motor Cortex rTMS in Chronic Migraine [PDF]
Background: Two small studies had evaluated the efficacy of rTMS in migraine. One tested high frequency rTMS over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex while the other evaluated 1 Hz rTMS over the vertex.
