ABSTRACT
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common neuropsychological complication in patients with stroke, which seriously affects the recovery of neurological function and the quality of work and life. In recent years, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), as a noninvasive neuromodulation technique, has been applied to the rehabilitation of stroke, and it has also been studied in the treatment of PSD. This article reviews the efficacy, possible mechanism and limitations of rTMS in the treatment of PSD.
