University of South Australia Researchers Make Major Breakthrough in Treating Depression After Stroke Using High Frequency Brain Stimulation Device.

A study led by Dr. Brenton Hordacr showed that high doses of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) significantly improved post-stroke depression by increasing brain activity.

Results, published in the Journal of Neurology, may indicate non-invasive alternative treatments for post-stroke depression in lieu of drugs, which may have negative side effects for many people.

A brain stimulator worth 40 thousand. dollars, partly funded by the Honda Foundation. It also has the potential to improve motor recovery by helping stroke patients develop new connections in damaged brains..

Scientists test new treatment on 11 people with chronic strokes. The treatment is planned to be officially launched next year..
