Brief Summary:
The FDA approved repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in 2008. The conventional rTMS protocol that has been used effectively for major depression is 5 days per week for 4-6 weeks. The accelerated rTMS protocol involves conducting more than one session per day. In the treatment of post-stroke depression (PSD); although the effectiveness of conventional rTMS procedure has been shown in many studies, there is limited data on accelerated rTMS protocol in which the number of daily sessions is increased. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of accelerated rTMS treatment on depression symptoms in patients diagnosed with PSD and whose depressive symptoms persist despite medical treatment, by comparing it with sham stimulation.
Question 1: Is accelerated rTMS an effective and reliable method in the treatment of post-stroke depression? Question 2: Is accelerated rTMS effective on quality of life, functional assessment and motor recovery in patients with post-stroke depression?

Detailed Description:
Objective: Depression is a complication that negatively affects the quality of life and functional recovery of stroke patients and is associated with increased physical disability, cognitive and social impairment. In addition to being resistant to pharmacotherapy, the side-effect profile of the drugs used in the treatment and the increase in stroke recurrence, increase the need for new alternatives in the treatment of post-stroke depression (PSD). Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is one of the treatment of interest in this field. In the treatment of PSD; although the effectiveness of conventional rTMS procedure has been shown in many studies, there is limited data on accelerated rTMS protocol in which the number of daily sessions is increased. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacy of accelerated rTMS treatment on depression symptoms in patients diagnosed with PSD and whose depressive symptoms persist despite medical treatment, by comparing it with sham stimulation.
