Abstract
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation procedure that is FDA-cleared for treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Evidence suggests that controlling brain state during rTMS treatment can influence treatment outcomes. We present the case of a patient with refractory OCD who received symptom provocation immediately preceding rTMS treatment sessions. The patient experienced more subjective and objective improvement in OCD symptoms targeted by provocations than in other symptom domains. These results suggest the importance of brain state during rTMS and could be used to guide and optimize neuromodulation treatment for OCD.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
