Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a novel, experimental procedure in the treatment of psychiatric disorders, most notably mood disorders. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is currently being widely studied in other applications, and its efficacies and potential side effects are being investigated.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation was administered five times a week for 4 weeks.
In this report, a manic episode followed treatment with transcranial magnetic stimulation in two patients.
Clinicians should be aware that, like with other antidepressive treatments, a switch into mania might complicate treatment with transcranial magnetic stimulation in bipolar patients.
经颅磁刺激是治疗精神疾病，尤其是情绪障碍的一种新型实验性方法。目前经颅磁刺激正在其他应用领域进行广泛研究，其疗效和潜在副作用也在调查之中。
每周进行5次经颅磁刺激，共治疗4周。
在本报告中，两名患者在接受经颅磁刺激治疗后出现躁狂发作。
临床医生应意识到，与其他抗抑郁治疗一样，双相情感障碍患者在经颅磁刺激治疗过程中可能会转为躁狂，从而使治疗复杂化。
