Efficacy of tDCS-primed iTBS in major depressive disorder: A randomized, sham-controlled trial with exploratory resting motor threshold analyses.
BACKGROUND Intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) is a promising treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD), yet inter-individual variability remains a challenge. Cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is hypothesized to "prime" the cortex via homeostatic metaplasticity, potentially enhancing t...
