Previous research has suggested that MST has antidepressant efficacy comparable to that of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), but with greater cognitive safety.

Seventy-three participants with a severe major depressive episode were enrolled and randomly assigned to treatment with MST (<em>n</em> = 35) or ultra-brief pulse right unilateral ECT (<em>n</em> = 38).

Specifically, following MST treatment, there was significant improvement in fine motor dexterity (<em>p</em> = .017) and no significant change in cognitive domains of attention, verbal fluency, executive function, or verbal learning and memory. In contrast, following treatment with ECT, patients demonstrated significantly worse performance on measures of verbal fluency (<em>p</em> &lt; .001), executive function (<em>p</em> = .038), and verbal memory retention (<em>p</em> &lt; .001).

Transcranial magnetic stimulation with electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) provides a measure of cortical oscillations unaffected by sensory relay functionality and/or patients’ level of engagement, which are important confounding factors in schizophrenia. Previous TMS–EEG work showed reduced fast, gamma-range oscillations and a slowing of the main DLPFC oscillatory frequency, or natural frequency, in chronic schizophrenia.
