In the treatment of depression, when pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy and the oldest brain stimulation techniques are deadlocked, the emergence of new therapies is a necessary development. The field of neuromodulation is very broad and controversial. This article provides an overview of current progress in the technological advances in neuromodulation and neurostimulation treatments for treatment-resistant depression: magnetic seizure therapy; focal electrically administered seizure therapy; low field magnetic stimulation; transcranial pulsed electromagnetic fields; transcranial direct current stimulation; epidural cortical stimulation; trigeminal nerve stimulation; transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation; transcranial focussed ultrasound; near infra-red transcranial radiation; closed loop stimulation. The role of new interventions is expanding, probably with more efficacy. Nowadays, still under experimentation, neuromodulation will probably revolutionise the field of neuroscience. At present, major efforts are still necessary before that these therapies are likely to become widespread.Key pointsThere is a critical need for new therapies for treatment resistant depression.Newer therapies are expanding. In the future, these therapies, as an evidence-based adjunctive treatments, could offer a good therapeutic choice for the patients with a TRD.The current trend in the new neuromodulation therapies is to apply a personalised treatment.These news therapies can be complementary.That treatment approaches can provide clinically significant benefits.
