He also said there was no followup available for retreatment if there was temporary success. Since then I thought I had read that the numbers were pretty bad. Where did you get your percentages from? Was that your study, or a combination of all centers, doing two weeks and I think four weeks.

One of the pioneering researchers off rTMS while at the NIMH, Mark George (now with the Medical University of South Carolina), had become disappointed in it pretty early on. I think he dropped the project, and is now one of the investigators of VNS (Vagal Nerve Stimulation).
