Prolonged transcranial magnetic stimulation in a pregnant patient with treatment-resistant depression: a case report.
Introduction: Perinatal depression is a serious and highly prevalent medical condition in the USA. Nearly 85% of individuals with perinatal depression go untreated, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. There is an urgent need to develop and advance safe and effective treatments for perinatal depression. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is an established intervention for depression in non-pregnant individuals yet is not well studied in perinatal depression.
Case presentation: A 33-year-old pregnant Latina female presented with severe, recurrent, treatment-resistant depression and suicidal ideation. The patient had previously trialed psychotherapy, multiple antidepressants, and mood stabilizers and had achieved remission with lithium prior to pregnancy. Due to pregnancy and fetal safety concerns, the patient discontinued lithium and consequently suffered progressive worsening of perinatal depression. At 24 weeks gestation and after additional failed medication trials, a prolonged course of transcranial magnetic stimulation was initiated. Following 46 transcranial magnetic stimulation treatments over 9 weeks using two protocol types (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and intermittent theta burst stimulation), she achieved near-remission of perinatal depression and resolution of suicidal ideation. There were no identified maternal or fetal adverse events at 6 weeks post-delivery.
Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first published case of a pregnant individual with perinatal depression who received and tolerated a prolonged transcranial magnetic stimulation course with two distinct protocols (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and intermittent theta burst stimulation) with clinically significant response. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a well-tolerated and effective intervention that warrants further investigation for use in treatment-resistant perinatal depression.
期刊介绍:
JMCR is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that will consider any original case report that expands the field of general medical knowledge. Reports should show one of the following: 1. Unreported or unusual side effects or adverse interactions involving medications 2. Unexpected or unusual presentations of a disease 3. New associations or variations in disease processes 4. Presentations, diagnoses and/or management of new and emerging diseases 5. An unexpected association between diseases or symptoms 6. An unexpected event in the course of observing or treating a patient 7. Findings that shed new light on the possible pathogenesis of a disease or an adverse effect
