- Abstract
Amad et al. [[1]] have critically assessed the evidence base for therapeutic application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in neurological and psychiatric disorders based on the test of excess significance, which statistically compares the expected versus observed number of "positive" datasets. For instance, the post-stroke depression meta-analysis [[6]] included several datasets that are not internationally accessible and had low quality, whereas the chronic neuropathic pain meta-analysis [[7]] included many single-session rTMS trials, which evaluated only short-term rTMS effects and were not necessarily designed to evaluate long-term efficacy. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of post-stroke depression: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trials.
