This study aims to evaluate current preferences and trends in the delivery of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). A 10-item online questionnaire was developed and conducted online between April to June 2020, surveying providers of TMS for patients with OCD internationally. A total of 27 valid responses were analysed from 10 countries. The most common target for TMS was the supplementary motor area and stimulation was commonly given bilaterally, but techniques differed between centres. Exposure tasks were not commonly used during TMS. The study calls for more research clarifying the best mode of TMS delivery for OCD.
本研究旨在评估目前针对强迫症(OCD)患者经颅磁刺激(TMS)的应用偏好和趋势。我们设计了一个包含 10 个项目的在线问卷,并于 2020 年 4 月至 6 月在网上对国际上 TMS 治疗 OCD 的提供者进行了调查。我们从 10 个国家共分析了 27 份有效回复。TMS 最常见的靶点是辅助运动区,刺激通常是双侧的,但不同中心的技术有所不同。在 TMS 期间通常不使用暴露任务。该研究呼吁进行更多的研究,以阐明 OCD 的 TMS 最佳应用模式。
