Key Points Question Is magnetic seizure therapy associated with decreased suicidality in patients with treatment-resistant depression? Findings This nonrandomized controlled trial of 67 patients in consecutive cohorts treated with magnetic seizure therapy found an overall remission rate from suicidality of 47.8%. Remission rates were higher in the low- and moderate-frequency treatment groups compared with the high-frequency group. Meaning These findings suggest that magnetic seizure therapy holds early promise as a treatment for suicidality in patients with treatment-resistant depression.
