Abstract: Post traumatic depression (PTD) is a serious complication after traumatic brain injury, with high incidence rate; PTD seriously affects the rehabilitation, outcome and quality of life of patients. Due to unclear pathogenesis of PTD, effective treatments have not yet been found in clinical practice. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), as a new non-invasive neuroregulatory technique, has been used in major depression disorder (MDD). Few clinical evidence on PTD treated by rTMS is noted and optimal rTMS treatment regimen has not yet been defined.This article reviews the clinical studies of rTMS in PTD in recent years, with a view to provide references for clinical application.
