Background: The gestational period is a period of high prevalence of mental disorders, including depression, requiring effective therapeutic measures. Objectives: systematize the effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in the treatment of depression during pregnancy. Design and setting: Systematic review with bibliometric. Methods: Articles were searched in the databases: MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus. Randomized clinical trials, case-control studies and case series, published between 2011 and 2020, that used tDCS and TMS to treat depression in pregnant patients were included. Studies that used transcranial electrostimulation associated with another technique (except the pharmacological one) were excluded. The quality of studies was evaluated independently by the reviewers according to the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews for Interventions for assessing bias. Software R was used to perform bibliometrics. Results: Seven studies were included, totaling 102 participants. The stimulated area was the dorsalateral prefrontal cortex (CPFDL). Two studies used tDCS with an intensity of 2 mA and application for 20 minutes and 30 minutes. Five studies used TMS, of which 2 used a frequency of 1 Hz, 2 used 25 Hz and 1 used 10 Hz. The University of Pennsylvania sets up the research center with the most affiliated articles, 8 in total. The author with the greatest impact was Kin, D.R. (index h: 6, index g: 7, index m: 0.462, total of publications 7, beginning: 2009). Conclusions: tDCS and TMS proved to be effective for the treatment of symptoms of depression during pregnancy. Systematic Review Registration: The review was registered in PROSPERO with protocol: CRD42021235355.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
