Table 7.

The advantages and disadvantages of Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.

Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
Advantages (1) A noninvasive and painless method [42, 46].
(2) A safe, noninvasive, effective therapeutic intervention [47, 49].
(3) No significant side effects [48].

Disadvantages (1) The most clinically effective rTMS parameters and the optimal site for stimulation in TBI are not currently known [42].
(2) The limited knowledge regarding the side effects of TMS [42].
(3) TBI patients who receive rTMS may experience a mild headache after the treatment session [42].
(4) Lead a risk of temporary mild hearing loss due to its substantial volume [42].
(5) The high intensity of stimulation is not well tolerated [48].
