We will review recent clinical trials in depression comparing TMS with antidepressant medications.
You are invited to join the Clinical TMS Society for this installment of our Grand Rounds Webinar Series, Apples and Oranges: Comparative Effectiveness Research in TMS for Depression, presented by Mehmet Dokucu, MD, PhD, DFAPA.
Although not labeled as such by the FDA, TMS is considered a third line treatment by many practitioners and health insurance company policies. Earlier referral to TMS is not commonly practiced but may be non-inferior to or superior to medication switches or augmentation. Our field lacked trials that compared different modalities of treatment in parallel with TMS until recently, which is the subject of this webinar.
The core aspect of this webinar will be reviewing two very recent articles that compare TMS to antidepressant medications. We will also review basic concepts of non-inferiority trials and meta-analyses.
At the end of this presentation, attendees will be able to:
- Understand "head-to-head" trials and meta-analyses research
- Review and understand recent comparative articles on TMS
- Review and understand the current and future placement of TMS in the treatment algorithms of depression
