Dual stimulation with iTBS-cTBS treatment in postpartum obsessive-compulsive disorder: a case report
This clinical case provides evidence that the combined iTBS and cTBS treatment can potentially effectively alleviate obsessive-compulsive symptoms in the short term. Notably, this therapeutic approach may offer a promising solution for postpartum OCD patients, as it addresses practical concerns such as medication safety for breastfeeding mothers and the specific needs of this population. To further establish the efficacy of this combined therapy, future randomized controlled trials with large samples and long-term follow-up are warranted to validate its therapeutic potential.
