Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Treatment for Depressive Disorders

  • 1465 Accesses

Abstract

rTMS treatment is clearly most well established for depressive disorders. However, a considerable body of research has investigated its use in other clinical areas. In schizophrenia, evidence does not consistently show an effect on general positive symptoms. However, there is a suggestion that prefrontal rTMS may modulate negative symptoms and cognition and substantive evidence that left temporoparietal stimulation can reduce the intensity and frequency of auditory hallucinations. There is inconsistent evidence, with many studies not replicated, supporting the use of rTMS in mania or anxiety disorders. There is emerging evidence to suggest that rTMS may modulate the experience of pain although studies are required to better establish its therapeutic use from a longer-term perspective in patients with chronic pain syndromes.
