“…A few reports have suggested that the main complaint of headache is mostly considered tension headache, which can be relieved after rest or oral painkillers. [ 26 , 27 ] In this study, no significant adverse reactions were observed during the treatment of patients, further indicating the ideal safety of rTMS in the treatment of middle-aged and elderly MDD.…”

Background: Studies have reported the use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). However, most studies focus on antidepressant effect of rTMS, but few on cognitive aspects. The present study aimed to explore the effect of rTMS on BDNF levels and cognitive function in the treatment of middle-aged and elderly MDD. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 120 elderly patients with MDD treated in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Medical University from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as research subjects. The patients were randomly divided into control group (n = 60, patients received simple oral treatment with escitalopram and sham rTMS) and study group (n = 60, patients received oral treatment with escitalopram combined with rTMS) according to the random number table method. We compared the clinical efficacy, serum BDNF levels, and cognitive function between the 2 groups. Results: After treatment, the HAMD-17 score in the study group was lower than that in the control group [13.00 (12.00–16.00) vs 17.00 (15.00–19.00), P < .05], and the RBANS score was higher than that in the control group [166.00 (161.25–171.75) vs 133.00 (130.00–136.75), P < .05]. The total effective rate of the research group was 95.0%, which was higher than the 82.0% of the control group (P < .05). The serum BDNF levels [36.00 (33.00–38.00) vs 30.00 (28.00–32.00), P < .05] and MoCA scores [24.00 (22.00–26.75) vs 23.00 (21.00–25.00), P < .05] of the study group were higher than those of the control group. There were no significant adverse reactions during the treatment of both groups. Conclusions: Compared with oral escitalopram alone, repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of middle-aged and elderly patients with major depressive disorder can further improve the efficacy, and can more effectively improve the BDNF level and cognitive function, with ideal safety.

“…Transcranial magnetic stimulation technology is a painless and non-invasive green treatment method. Magnetic signals can penetrate the skull and stimulate the brain nerves without attenuation [4] . Azza et al purposefully evaluated the preventive therapeutic effects of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on migraine (with and without aura) and its correlation with the level of serum inflammatory biomarkers (neurokinin A) [5] .…”

Migraine is a common and recurrent chronic disorder. Migraine is often associated with anxiety, depression and other emotional diseases. With the development of physical rehabilitation techniques, the long-term clinical efficacy of rehabilitation in the treatment of migraine and the prevention of recurrence have been widely accepted. This paper reviews the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation therapy in clinical treatment of migraine in recent years.
