Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) concerns an excessive preoccupation concerning a perceived physical defect, associated with function impairment. No FDA-approved treatment exists for BDD, and many patients are resistant to standard treatment. Neuromodulation, especially deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) represents an important option in treating resistant patients in the obsessive-compulsive spectrum. No previous studies adopted dTMS in BDD. In this case series we reported the cases of three patients with resistant BDD treated with dTMS in combination with symptom provocation, a cognitive-behavioural therapy technique. Symptoms severity decreased after the treatment in all the three patients. These preliminary data suggested that dTMS plus symptom provocation could be an effective treatment for treatment resistant BDD patients. Further prospective studies are needed.
躯体变形障碍(BDD)是指过度关注自认为的身体缺陷,并伴有功能损害。目前尚无美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)批准的针对BDD的治疗方法,许多患者对标准治疗有抵抗性。神经调节,尤其是深部经颅磁刺激(dTMS)是治疗强迫症谱系中抵抗性患者的重要选择。此前尚无研究将dTMS用于BDD治疗。在本病例系列中,我们报告了3例抵抗性BDD患者采用dTMS联合症状激发(一种认知行为治疗技术)进行治疗的病例。所有3例患者治疗后症状严重程度均有所下降。这些初步数据表明,dTMS加症状激发可能是治疗抵抗性BDD患者的有效方法。还需要进一步的前瞻性研究。
