Past, present, and future of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation: A review in psychiatric and neurological disorders

Table 4 Development of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation in substance use disorders

Ref.	Method	Result	Adverse events	Significance
Girardi et al[49], 2015	20 Hz DTMS stimulates DLFPC	Craving scores dropped significantly	Unreported	DTMS was well tolerated and found to be effective in AUD
Harel et al[50], 2022	10 Hz DTMS stimulates mPFC and ACC	A lower percentage of heavy drinking days	Moderate to severe headaches	DTMS was a safe and well-tolerated intervention, with promising initial evidence for efficacy in alcohol addiction

DLFPC: Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex; DTMS: Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation; SUD: Substance use disorders; mPFC: Medial prefrontal; ACC: Anterior cingulate cortices; AUD: Alcohol use disorder.
