چکیده

En el presente artículo se analizan retrospectivamente los tratamientos realizados mediante TMS sobre LDLPF a 20 Hz con una intensidad del 70% en un protocolo de 10 sesiones sobre 107 pacientes (41 varones y 66 mujeres) por presentar sintomatología depresiva resistente al tratamiento farmacológico en distintas patologías. Los pacientes habían realizado previamente dos intentos psicofarmacológicos adecuados en tiempo y dosis, y en caso de no responder a ningún tratamiento convencional eran considerados candidatos para terapia electroconvulsiva (TEC). El 62,7% eran trastornos del humor, un 13,1% trastornos obsesivo-compulsivos (TOC), un 7,5% eran trastornos cognoscitivos, un 4,7% trastornos de personalidad y un 3,7% fueron trastornos psicóticos. La edad media del grupo fue de 49,98 años (d.e. = 17,09).

SHORT REPORT Right frontal lobe slow frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (SF r-TMS) is an eVective treatment for depression: a case-control pilot study of safety and eYcacy

Major depression may result from decreased left frontal lobe function with respect to the right. Fast frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (FF r-TMS) excites the underlying cortex whereas slow frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (SF r-TMS) causes cortical inhibition. Left frontal FF r-TMS attenuates major depression whereas the inhibitory eVects of right fro...
