The efficacy of traditional treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is still unsatisfactory. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been widely used in the treatment of various types of mental disorders, including PTSD. Although rTMS has been demonstrated to be effective in many cases, there are still arguments regarding its mechanism and protocol. This review aims to summarize the origin, development, principle, and future direction of rTMS and introduce this neuro-stimulation therapy to relevant clinicians.
创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的传统治疗效果仍不尽人意。重复经颅磁刺激(rTMS)已广泛应用于包括PTSD在内的各类精神障碍的治疗。尽管rTMS在许多情况下已被证明有效,但关于其机制和方案仍存在争议。本综述旨在总结rTMS的起源、发展、原理及未来方向,并向相关临床医生介绍这种神经刺激疗法。
