[IPA and transcranial magnetic stimulation in treatment-resistant depression]

Treatment-resistant depression is a major public health issue. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is emerging as an innovative therapeutic alternative to conventional treatments. rTMS is a well-tolerated, non-invasive technique requiring specific organizational arrangements. In this context, the advanced practice nurse plays a pivotal role in clinical assessment, care coordination, and patient follow-up, enhancing treatment adherence and continuity of care. Further research is needed to assess their clinical and organizational impact.
