Approximately 10% of combat soldiers and 30% of rape victims develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is already known to be safe in depression treatment. Research results of the past 15 years indicate that rTMS induced to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex may have a potential to treat the symptoms of PTSD. Furthermore, high-frequency rTMS seems to be superior to low-frequency rTMS. The effect of rTMS on PTSD symptoms could be mediated by increasing the level of brain-derived neurotrophic factor.
约10%的参战士兵和30%的强奸受害者会患上创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。重复经颅磁刺激（rTMS）在抑郁症治疗中已被证明是安全的。过去15年的研究结果表明，对右侧背外侧前额叶皮层进行rTMS刺激可能具有治疗PTSD症状的潜力。此外，高频rTMS似乎优于低频rTMS。rTMS对PTSD症状的影响可能是通过提高脑源性神经营养因子水平来介导的。
