Although there is a large amount of literature indicating the effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (trMDD), the authors did not find any literature supporting rTMS for MDD with the comorbid condition of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Here, we report an original case of a patient whose trMDD and PTSD remitted using rTMS at the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
尽管有大量文献表明重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)对治疗抵抗性重度抑郁症(trMDD)有效,但作者没有发现任何支持 rTMS 治疗创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)共病的 MDD 的文献。在这里,我们报告了一个原始病例,患者的 trMDD 和 PTSD 在左侧背外侧前额叶皮层使用 rTMS 后缓解。
