First off, for anyone to say that a treatment which is only in its stage of infancy (rTMS)
is not effective, sounds kind of silly to me.

You can say it's not effective at say 15hz or
perhaps not effective at this coil strength
etc. But to trash the whole thing because
of some failures doesn't make sense.

For instance, there is a group of scientist that
think the coil should be placed right at the
top of the spine, around the thalymus (back of head, after all these are the 'deeper routed' structures, and where new brain cells originate.

Anyhow, these are just all the ideas that have not yet been tested, and how can you trash something that has not yet been fully tested.

Personally I am interested in any treatment that performs better than the placebo. I think it is worth further investigation.
