Default something there but what?
A Medline search for "repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation" yields 970 hits so peer-reviewed money is being spent.

Now music therapy is a different thing. Music has the ability to strongly affect our mood, however magnetism is just a lot of nonsense. It has "effects" but nothing that would be considered "Therapy" in any way shape or form. Don't get ripped off by people selling "magnetic devices" that are proclaimed to be of "therapeutic value", itt's all snake oil
