Effects of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression
The conclusion drawn from this analysis is that rTMS constitutes an effective treatment for OCD, particularly when administered to specific targets and at specific frequencies. Nevertheless, the mean clinical impact is negligible. The findings indicate the necessity of optimised protocols and pragmatic maintenance strategies.
