Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive biological treatment method in many psychiatric, neurological, and otolaryngological indications. In psychiatry, rTMS proved its treatment effect mainly in the treatment of depression. rTMS is a well-tolerated treatment method, and side effects occur with proper indication and preparation rarely. This review brings comprehensive information about the impact of rTMS on cognitive performance in patients with depression. Results conclude that rTMS does not impair cognitive functions and, on the other hand, has a potential for improvement of cognition. This article confirms the safety of rTMS on cognitive function in patients with depression.
