No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Several factors characterize repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a strategic aid in the treatment of postpartum depression.

However, up to current days there have been no studies evaluating the effects of rTMS on neurocognitive and social performance of women suffering from the disorder.

The present study evaluates the impacts of rTMS in clinical, cognitive and social performance.
