Safety and Efficacy of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Psychiatric Disorders in Pakistan

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Background: Treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders pose a major global health burden, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) where access to neuromodulation remains limited. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an evidence-based, non-invasive treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD), generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but regional outcome data from South Asia are scarce.
