ABSTRACT

Objective:

To observe the clinical effect of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on non-organic insomnia using college students.

Methods:

A total of 72 college students with non-organic insomnia were recruited and randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, each of 36, according to a random number table. The observation group was given rTMS treatment on the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex at 1Hz and an intensity 130% of the resting motor threshold for 20min once daily, 5 days a week for 4 weeks. The control group was given sham magnetic stimulation. Depression, anxiety, sleep status and cognitive functioning were quantified before and after the treatment.

Results:

After 4 weeks of treatment, significant improvement was observed in the treatment group (though not in the control group) in total Pittsburgh sleep quality index scores, and in all of its dimensions except hypnotic medicine. The average Hamilton depression and anxiety scale scores of both groups had improved significantly after the intervention, but the improvement was significantly greater in the treated group. Significant improvement was also observed in the average visual space and executive function score, attention score, delayed memory score and total score of the observation group using the Montreal cognitive assessment compared with before the treatment and compared with the control group.

Conclusions:

Repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation can improve the sleep quality, emotional state and cognitive functioning of college students with non-organic insomnia.
