Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a novel, non-invasive neuromodulatory technique that utilices electromagnetic force to alter neuronal excitability. Hence, unlikely ECT (electroconvulsive therapy) anaesthesia is not required and the individual remains awake and clinically monitored; and in contrast with vagus nerve stimulation and deep brain stimulation, electrodes will not be placed in the brain. To date, it has been applied to a range of neuropsychiatric disorders and since 2008 it has been approved by FDA for the management of resistant depression without psychotic symptoms. Experience in schizophrenia and other psychosis is lesser and as always there are fewer studies in children and adolescentes, but as clinicians we know that the first onset of the most serious mental disorders occurs in childhood or adolescence and half of all lifetime disorders start by the mid-teens. In so young patients is specially important finding more effective treatments and less harmful. TMS would represent an interesting therapeutic alternative since it can activate some regions while at the same time it can inhibit others: for example there are studies that explain improvent in negative symptoms through dorsolateral prefrontal cortex stimulation. Efficacy on auditory hallucinations by inhibition of left temporal cortex will be reviewed below.
