Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation approach, might be a promising technique in the management of insomnia. A systematic review of the available literature on this topic is warranted. The systematic review described in this protocol aims to investigate the efficacy of rTMS as a physical therapy in patients with insomnia.
This protocol was developed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols. We will retrieve relevant literatures across the following electronic bibliographic databases: CENTRAL, PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, PEDro, CBM, CNKI, WANFANG and VIP. A manual search of the reference lists of all relevant articles will be performed for any additional studies. We will include randomised controlled trials published in English and Chinese examining efficacy of rTMS on patients with insomnia. Two reviewers will independently complete the article selection, data extraction and rating. PEDro scale will be used to assess the methodological quality of the included studies. Narrative and quantitative synthesis will be done accordingly.
Ethical approval will not be required for this review. The results of this review will be disseminated in a peer-review journal.

重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)作为一种非侵入性脑刺激方法,可能是治疗失眠的一种很有前途的技术。因此,有必要对这一主题的现有文献进行系统评价。本方案中描述的系统评价旨在研究 rTMS 作为物理疗法治疗失眠症患者的疗效。
本方案是根据系统评价和荟萃分析报告的首选项目制定的。我们将检索以下电子文献数据库中的相关文献:CENTRAL、PubMed、EMBASE、PsycINFO、CINAHL、PEDro、CBM、CNKI、WANFANG 和 VIP。将对所有相关文章的参考文献进行手动搜索,以查找任何其他相关研究。我们将纳入发表在英文和中文期刊上的随机对照试验,以评估 rTMS 对失眠症患者的疗效。两名评审员将独立完成文章选择、数据提取和评分。将使用 PEDro 量表评估纳入研究的方法学质量。并相应地进行叙述性和定量综合分析。
本综述不需要伦理批准。本综述的结果将发表在同行评议的期刊上。
