Title : TPS vs TMS - A power comparison

Abstract:

rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation) is yet a well know neurostimulation technique, which is now challenged by TPS (transcranial pulse stimulation). TMS has been investigated since around 40 years and conquered an undisputed place in clinical treatment, most of all in the field of depression. The challenger TPS is a newcomer, who started the success story through treatment of Dementia of Alzheimer type. Both techniques are also used Off-label, though modes of action are not always clear. This comparison will highlight the indications, the differences and commonalities. By combining the power of both stratgies some of the neurological and psychiatric diseases will best be fought. Thus, this comparison may lead to a better understanding of neuroplasticity in general.
