Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been suggested as antidepressive treatment strategy [1]. The mechanism of action by which the antidepressive effect is brought about remains unclear at present. Here, we report findings in a patient suffering from recurrent major depression and rheumatoid arthritis. Improvement of depressive symptoms during 20 Hz rTMS of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was repeatedly associated with a systemic inflammatory reaction, suggesting that rTMS induced an immunmodulatory effect.
