Magnetic seizure therapy ( MST ) is the proposed form of electrotherapy and electrical brain stimulation. Currently under investigation for the treatment of drug-resistant depression (TRD), schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder. MST is said to work by inducing seizures through a magnetic field, in contrast to ECT that does so through direct electric shock. In contrast to (r) TMS, a higher level of stimulation (eg 100 Hz at 2 T) produces more energy transfer.
By 2015 there is no commercially available MST device.
