CLINICAL EFFECT OF REPETITIVE TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION COMBINED WITH DRUGS IN TREATMENT OF REFRACTORY OBSESSIVE-COMPULSIVE DISORDER
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with drugs in the treatment of refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).Methods A total of 55 OCD patients were randomly divided into study group and control group.The patients in the study group were given rTMS in addition to drug therapy,and those in the control group were given sham stimulation.The course of treatment was 4 consecutive weeks.The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS),Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale (Beijing version),and Treatment Emer gent Symptom Scale (TESS) were used to assess obsessive compulsive symptoms,cognitive function,and adverse events.Results After 4 weeks of treatment,the study group had significant changes in Y-BOCS total score,Y BOCS obsession score,Y BOCS compulsion score,Y-BOCS insight score,MoCA total score,and score on each subscale of MoCA (t=2.121 16.027,P<0.05);the control group had significant changes in Y-BOCS compulsion score,Y-BOCS total score,and MoCA total score (t =2.793-4.878,P < 0.05),and there were no significant changes in the other Y-BOCS scores and the score on each subscale of MoCA (P>0.05).There were significant differences between the two groups in Y-BOCS total score,Y-BOCS obsession score,Y-BOCS compulsion score,Y-BOCS insight score,MoCA total score,MoCA executive function score,MoCA attention score,MoCA abstraction score,and MoCA orientation score before and after treatment (t =2.085-8.830,P < 0.05).There was a significant difference in clinical outcome between the two groups (Z=-4.283,P<0.05),and there was no significant difference in the change in TESS score after treatment between the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion In patients with refractory OCD,rTMS can improve their obsessive-compulsive symptoms and cognitive function and has few adverse effects.
