Adjunctive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation delivers superior quality of life for focal epilepsy compared to anti-epileptic drugs: A meta-analytic utility prediction study

•Adjunctive rTMS and AEDs do not differ significantly in seizure frequency reduction.•Adjunctive rTMS has significantly fewer side effects than AEDs.•Adjunctive rTMS is predicted to impart greater utility than starting a new AED.
