BACKGROUND: Approximately 40% of patients treated for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) do not respond to standard and second-line augmentation treatments leading to the exploration of alternate biological treatments. Continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) is a form of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation inducing more rapid and longer-lasting effects on synaptic plasticity than the latter. To the best of our knowledge, only one recent study and a case report investigated the effect of cTBS at the supplementary motor area (SMA) in OCD. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the effect of accelerated robotized neuronavigated cTBS over SMA in patients with OCD. METHODS: A total of 32 patients with OCD were enrolled and randomized into active and sham cTBS groups. For active cTBS stimulation, an accelerated protocol was used. Bursts of three stimuli at 50 Hz, at 80% of MT, repeated at 5 Hz were used. Daily 2 sessions of 900 pulses each, for a total of 30 sessions over 3 wk (weekly 10 sessions), were given. Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Rating Scale (YBOCS), Clinical Global Impressions scale (CGI), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) were administered at baseline and at end of weeks 3 and 8. RESULTS: A total of 26 patients completed the study. Active cTBS group showed significant group × time effect in YBOCS obsession ( < .001, η = 0.288), compulsion ( = .004, η = 0.207), YBOCS total ( < .001, η = 0.288), CGI-S ( = .010, η = 0.248), CGI-C ( = .010, η = 0.248), HAM-D ( = .014, η = 0.224) than sham cTBS group. CONCLUSIONS: Findings from our study suggest that adjunctive accelerated cTBS significantly improves psychopathology, severity of illness, and depression among patients with OCD. Future studies with larger sample sizes will add to our knowledge.
背景:大约 40%接受强迫症(OCD)治疗的患者对标准和二线增效治疗没有反应,这导致了对替代生物治疗的探索。连续 theta 爆发刺激(cTBS)是一种重复经颅磁刺激形式,与后者相比,它对突触可塑性的诱导作用更快、持续时间更长。据我们所知,只有最近的一项研究和一份病例报告调查了补充运动区(SMA)cTBS 在 OCD 中的作用。 目的:本研究旨在探讨 OCD 患者加速机器人导航 cTBS 对 SMA 的影响。 方法:共纳入 32 例 OCD 患者,随机分为主动和假 cTBS 组。对于主动 cTBS 刺激,使用加速方案。使用 50Hz 时的三个刺激的爆发,80%的 MT,以 5Hz 重复。每天 2 次,每次 900 个脉冲,共 3 周(每周 10 次),共 30 次。在基线和第 3 周和第 8 周结束时进行耶鲁-布朗强迫症量表(YBOCS)、临床总体印象量表(CGI)、汉密尔顿抑郁量表(HAM-D)和汉密尔顿焦虑量表(HAM-A)。 结果:共有 26 例患者完成了研究。主动 cTBS 组在 YBOCS 强迫观念(<0.001,η=0.288)、强迫行为(=0.004,η=0.207)、YBOCS 总分(<0.001,η=0.288)、CGI-S(=0.010,η=0.248)、CGI-C(=0.010,η=0.248)、HAM-D(=0.014,η=0.224)方面均显示出显著的组×时间效应,均优于假 cTBS 组。 结论:本研究结果表明,辅助性加速 cTBS 可显著改善 OCD 患者的精神病理学、疾病严重程度和抑郁。未来更大样本量的研究将增加我们的知识。
