Several reports point to the beneficial effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rTMS targeting the dmPFC in the treatment of treatment-resistant OCD patients. Twelve patients received 20 sessions of low-frequency (LF) rTMS (1 Hz, 1200 pulses) in a twice daily protocol during 10 weekdays. Y-BOCS and IDS scores modestly but significantly decreased after treatment and at follow-up and HADS anxiety improved at follow-up. LF rTMS may improve OCD, anxiety, and depressive symptoms in treatment-resistant OCD and was a safe and well-tolerated treatment.
多项报告指出重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)在治疗难治性强迫症(OCD)方面具有有益效果。本研究旨在评估针对背内侧前额叶皮质(dmPFC)进行rTMS治疗难治性OCD患者的安全性和有效性。12名患者在10个工作日内接受了每日两次、每次20次的低频(LF)rTMS(1赫兹,1200个脉冲)治疗。治疗后及随访时,耶鲁布朗强迫症量表(Y-BOCS)和抑郁症状量表(IDS)评分略有但显著下降,且随访时医院焦虑抑郁量表(HADS)焦虑评分有所改善。低频rTMS可能改善难治性OCD患者的OCD、焦虑和抑郁症状,且是一种安全且耐受性良好的治疗方法。
