Zusammenfassung:	A recent meta-analysis (1) concluded that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) efficiently reduces resistant auditory hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia (effect size=0.76). To our knowledge, the case presented below is the first report of a twice-daily transcranial magnetic stimulation as efficacious for auditory hallucinations, both in acute and maintenance treatment.
