A 90% response rate is in-line with ECT on non-medication resistant patients, actually, and it's not historically out of place that TMS performs so effectively.

A 90% response rate is in-line with ECT on non-medication resistant patients, actually, and it's not historically out of place that TMS performs so effectively. [1] [2] Historically, TMS has had lower response rates than ECT, though this trial seems to offer a less invasive treatment with a comparable response rate. The measured response rates of the initial trials tend to drop after testing in a larger population, but it's great to see TMS progressing with improvements identified regularly. 1: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199303253281204 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199303253281204 2: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6361049/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6361049/
