difference between rTMS and tDCS???

Posted by deniseuk190466 on April 14, 2008, at 5:29:29

Hi all,

Can somebody please explain to me the difference between rTMS and tDCS. If I didn't respond to rTMS then what are the chances that I would respond to tDCS?

Thanks.....Denise

Thanks for this, from my understanding now the rTMS uses magnetic fields to generate electric currents and the other uses electric currents directly.
