Effect of Daylight Duration on Outcomes of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Treatment-Resistant Depression

Key Points

• Daylight duration affects treatment outcomes in treatment-resistant depression, highlighting a possible environmental influence.
• Key evidence indicated that variations in daylight duration correlate with effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.
• Analysis involved a review of treatment responses to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over varying daylight periods.
• Findings suggest the need for additional studies to explore the relationship between environmental factors and treatment efficacy.
