Abstract:
Action monitoring deficit is a core underlying characteristic and endophenotype of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). This study aimed to test whether low frequency (LF) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting dACC improves both error-monitoring performance and OCD symptoms in a randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind trial design. Error-monitoring performance and symptom severity were measured pre- and post-treatment using Erikson Flanker tasks and the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), with three month symptom follow-up. Significant OCD symptom improvement was observed at one-month follow-up for patients who received Active stimulation.
