TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION THERAPY IN OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER: A CASE SERIES

Abstract

The effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy in obsessive compulsive disorder is indefinite, although it has been shown to be helpful in depression in many studies. Six cases of obsessive compulsive disorder who received repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy are presented. Afterwards, the literature about the effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation in obsessive compulsive disorder is reviewed.
