Neuromodulation techniques in combination for a short-intensive treatment of depression and anxiety: a case report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Neuromodulation techniques have emerged as valuable strategies for patients with depression and anxiety who do not respond to traditional therapies. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) treatments are heterogeneous; however, they all share an average duration of at least 10 days, thus requiring significant patient commitment to maintain adequate compliance. Here we describe a 68-year-old woman who suffered from depression and generalized anxiety disorder and underwent a short-intensive combined protocol, thus highlighting its effectiveness and good tolerability.
