Side effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

E M Wassermann. Depress Anxiety. 2000.

Abstract

The side effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation are largely unexplored and the limits of safe exposure have not been determined except as regards the acute production of seizures. Although tissue damage is unlikely, however, cognitive and other adverse effects have been observed and the possibility of unintended long-term changes in brain function are theoretically possible.
