Summary

This study aimed at verifying whether sessions of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over a certain brain area (the supplementary motor area) could be useful in the relief of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder symptoms.

Conditions

  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Interventions

DEVICE

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)

rTMS was administered by means of a NEURO-MS (NEUROSOFT LTD®, Russia) with a focal 8-shaped 70 mm coil. Stimulation parameters were 1-Hz, 20-min trains (1200 pulses/day) at 100% of resting MT, once a day, 5 days a week, for 2 weeks.

DEVICE

Sham repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

The sham treatment was performed using the Neurosoft ® sham coil. A metal plate placed inside this coil prevents the magnetic field from stimulating the cortex. This coil looks and sounds like an active coil.
