Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a type of non-invasive brain stimulation technique that is explored as an add-on treatment for the alleviation of symptoms across the diverse symptom domains in neuropsychiatric disorders. In psychiatry, data is emerging on the effects of tDCS as an add-on treatment in schizophrenia as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). But despite high prevalence, the effectiveness of tDCS in co-morbid schizophrenia and OCD is lacking. This case report for the first time examines the clinical utility with target-specific effects of the add-on tDCS in a patient diagnosed with schizo-obsessive disorder.
经颅直流电刺激(tDCS)是一种非侵入性脑刺激技术,被探索作为一种附加治疗方法,用于缓解神经精神障碍中不同症状领域的症状。在精神病学中,关于 tDCS 作为附加治疗方法在精神分裂症和强迫症(OCD)中的作用的数据正在出现。但是,尽管患病率很高,tDCS 在并发精神分裂症和 OCD 中的有效性仍然缺乏。本病例报告首次检查了附加 tDCS 在诊断为精神分裂-强迫障碍患者中的靶向特异性效应的临床实用性。
