Magnetic seizure therapy (MST) is a proposed form of electrotherapy and electrical brain stimulation. It is currently being investigated for the treatment of treatment-resistant depression (TRD), schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder.[1] MST is stated to work by inducing seizures via magnetic fields, in contrast to ECT which does so using alternating electric currents. In contrast to (r)TMS, the stimulation rates are higher (e.g. 100 Hz at 2 T) resulting in more energy transfer.[2][3]

As of 2015 no MST device was commercially available.[4]
