{"title":"Evaluating Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Long COVID: A Case Series.","authors":"Jonathan Bock, Simon Kung, Ravindra Ganesh, Ryan T Hurt, Maria I Lapid","doi":"10.1097/YCT.0000000000001072","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1097/YCT.0000000000001072","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Objective: </strong>To describe the immediate clinical outcomes of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in treating long COVID symptoms. Long COVID currently impacts approximately 5.3% of US adults, presenting with persistent fatigue, depression, anxiety, cognitive impairments, and social function decline. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has improved these symptoms in some studies.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Five patients (ages 52-63 years, 3 female patients) underwent accelerated rTMS using intermittent theta burst stimulation (600 pulses over 3 minutes 20 seconds, 80%-120% of resting motor threshold) to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. The treatment consisted of twice-daily sessions over 20-30 treatments. Outcomes were measured using the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement and Information System (PROMIS) questionnaires, assessing fatigue, depression, anxiety, cognitive function, and social function at baseline and immediately posttreatment.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>One patient discontinued immediately due to intolerable scalp pain. Posttreatment PROMIS scores showed the following: fatigue decreased from 74.5 to 61.8, depression from 60.3 to 51.5, and anxiety from 62.0 to 54.0. Scores increased for cognitive (26.8 to 32.3) and social (31.0 to 32.5) function. These changes, although not statistically significant, indicate a trend toward symptom reduction. Subjectively, 3 of 4 patients who completed the rTMS course reported improvements.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This case series suggests that rTMS may offer symptomatic relief in long COVID patients. Although the observed improvements in PROMIS were not statistically significant, even minimal improvements are clinically significant for patients enduring prolonged suffering. These preliminary findings are encouraging and underscore the need for further research with larger cohorts to validate the efficacy of rTMS in long COVID symptom relief.</p>","PeriodicalId":54844,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ect","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142632950","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
