BACKGROUND: The mental health landscape in the Arab world has undergone significant changes, highlighting the need for innovative treatment methods like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). Historically, mental health was stigmatized and under-addressed, leading to a reliance on traditional remedies. METHOD: This scoping review utilized the Arksey & O'Malley framework to examine TMS's application, effectiveness, and challenges in treating psychiatric disorders in Arab countries. A comprehensive search was conducted across six databases, and studies published between 2018 and 2024 were included, focusing on various mental health conditions treated with rTMS. RESULTS: Nineteen studies were reviewed, with findings indicating that TMS is a promising, non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments like electroconvulsive therapy. Benefits included minimal side effects, quick sessions, complementary treatment options, and cumulative therapeutic effects. However, high costs, lack of trained professionals, and social stigma were significant challenges. DISCUSSION: The integration of rTMS can enhance mental health care in the region. Addressing economic barriers and increasing awareness through public campaigns could improve accessibility and acceptance of rTMS as a viable treatment option. CONCLUSION: The findings underscore the need for further research, training for healthcare providers, and public awareness campaigns to promote TMS, ultimately contributing to a healthier societal perspective on mental well-being.
