ABSTRACT
With over 16 years of experience in clinical, research, and educational activities related to transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), I have written this article exploring the ethical dimensions of TMS. This article aims to provide valuable and informative content for those unfamiliar with TMS as well as those just starting in the field. Specifically, this article elaborates on four principles of medical ethics, including those applicable to TMS therapy, the disparity between public medical insurance coverage and medical indications in private practice for TMS therapy, and issues concerning research ethics in practice. I also provide recommendations regarding roles and strategies for adoption by academia and those in this field dedicated to making TMS therapy accessible to a larger patient population in a suitable manner. Lastly, it is my hope that this article will serve as a contemporary "Ethics of TMS Neuromodulation", resonating with the inherent human pursuit of "truth, goodness, and beauty" for a sound mind and spirit.
