Background And Objective: The Supplementary Motor Area (SMA), a relatively large brain structure predominantly located along the interhemispheric fissure, is an established target for repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). We investigated the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of targeting SMA using a double-cone "deep" TMS coil compared to conventional figure-eight coil for treatment of OCD with comorbid Major Depressive Disorder (MDD).

Methods: Sixty-two patients with treatment-resistant OCD and comorbid MDD participated in the study.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the outcomes of intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS) for treating Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), focusing on differences based on biological sex and age.
  • It found that males had a significantly better response to iTBS compared to females, whereas females showed more improvement with a different rTMS protocol (10 Hz).
  • Additionally, patients over 50 years old, especially females, demonstrated better treatment outcomes, highlighting the impact of age on rTMS efficacy.
