Transcranial magnetic stimulation in mental health care.

Background: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), which is a neuromodulation therapy for psychiatric disorders, is not widely used in Norway. We aimed to investigate whether doctors in mental health care are familiar with and interested in the method, as well as the reasons for its limited use and the key factors required for its implementation.

Material And Method: An anonymous electronic survey questionnaire was distributed to all active members of the Norwegian Psychiatric Association in the autumn of 2022 (n = 1979), consisting of 484 specialty registrars and 1495 specialists.

The cerebellum is involved in non-motor processing, supported by topographically distinct cerebellar activations and closed-loop circuits between the cerebellum and the cortex. Disruptions to cerebellar function may negatively impact prefrontal function and processing. Cerebellar resources may be important for offloading cortical processing, providing crucial scaffolding for normative performance and function.

Background: This study aims to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) when used as an add-on therapy for individuals with persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD).

Methods: In this randomized controlled, double-blind trial conducted at Shangluo Central Hospital, patients with PPPD diagnosed in the neurology departments were included. Participants were randomized into a rTMS treatment group and a control group in a 1:1 ratio by the randomized grouping method.

Background: The therapeutic use of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) delivered to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (LDLPFC) is a relatively new but promising treatment option for depression. There is a need for more knowledge on the mechanisms involved in its antidepressant effects.

Methods: This is a single-centre, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with two arms, iTBS and sham iTBS.

Effect of Neurostimulation on Chronic Pancreatic Pain: A Systematic Review.

Neuromodulation

December 2024

Neuromodulation Center and Center for Clinical Research Learning, Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic pancreatic pain is a severe visceral pain condition with limited treatment options; neurostimulation techniques are explored as potential therapies targeting pain inhibition systems.
  • A systematic review analyzed 22 studies on neurostimulation for chronic pancreatic pain, focusing on pain scales and opioid usage, and included randomized clinical trials and case series.
  • Results indicated that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) significantly reduced pain levels by up to 36%, but other neurostimulation techniques like tDCS showed less clear results.
