The advantages and disadvantages of Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation.

Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
Advantages	(1) A noninvasive and painless method [42, 46].; (2) A safe, noninvasive, effective therapeutic intervention [47, 49].; (3) No significant side effects [48].
Disadvantages	(1) The most clinically effective rTMS parameters and the optimal site for stimulation in TBI are not currently known [42].; (2) The limited knowledge regarding the side effects of TMS [42].; (3) TBI patients who receive rTMS may experience a mild headache after the treatment session [42].; (4) Lead a risk of temporary mild hearing loss due to its substantial volume [42].; (5) The high intensity of stimulation is not well tolerated [48].
