Magnetic Stimulation Treatment For Depression

I'd like to know more about measured effectiveness of this therapy.

Mrs. Baas says a new treatment for depression is changing her life - so much so that she’s willing to drive 115 miles five days a week from Decatur to UT Southwestern Medical Center where she is participating in an experimental study. She undergoes transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive, nonpharmacological technology, in which short pulses of magnetic energy stimulate nerve cells in a specific area of the brain - an area that research has shown to be associated with depression.
