Description:

Course Description: The non-invasive neurostimulation techniques of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) have received increasing attention regarding their potential for treating psychiatric disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This review examines the effects of rTMS and dTMS stimulation on different brain targets in OCD. While the underlying neurobiological mechanisms remain unknown, rTMS and dTMS appear to offer an additional way of addressing OCD symptoms. Improved understanding of the therapeutic effects of rTMS and dTMS in OCD will support fine-tuning of the method and optimization of the approach to achieve clinically relevant results.
