Clinical efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation in treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder at different stimulation sites / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a kind of conrmon clinical mental disorder.It has a prolonged course of disease and is difficult to cure.The treatment methods of obsessive-compulsive disorder are mainly composed of drug therapy and psychotherapy, but some patients have poor response to drug therapy.Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive nerve stimulation technique and is widely used in neuropsychiatric diseases.Transcranial magnetic stimulation is gradually increasing in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder.To date, researches at home and abroad have reported that transcranial magnetic stimulation can improve the symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder and help to improve its cognitive function.However, the clinical therapeutic effects reported are inconsistent due to different stimulation sites, stimulation parameters, sample size and stimulation time.Especially in recent years, transcranial magnetic stimulation research on obsessive-compulsive disorder has made further exploration in target selection, stimulation sequence, stimulation mode and so on.This paper focuses on the clinical effects of different stimulation sites on the treatment of OCD, and provids new ideas for further intervention and treatment of OCD.
