Clinical Trial Summary

H-coil high-frequency deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) over the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in treatment-resistant obsessive-compulsive disorder. At the same time, there are studies in the literature showing the effectiveness of intermittent theta burst stimulation application and the advantages of short treatment duration. However, there is no strong scientific evidence yet on the effectiveness and safety of iTBS (50 Hz) application with a double-cone coil in obsessive-compulsive disorder patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of dTMS with ITBS protocol on the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in OCD patients.


Clinical Trial Description

The current study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of the ITBS protocol, which is applied to the mPFC and ACC for 5 sessions per day with a double-cone coil in treatment-resistant OCD patients. This study evaluated (I) the effectiveness of Itbs (50 Hz) stimulation of the mPFC and ACC with a double-cone coil and (II) the effectiveness of administering this protocol over 2 weeks rather than six weeks as approved by the FDA. Participants will be randomized into two parallel groups in a double-blind manner. In one group, ITBS (50 Hz) dTMS will be applied to mPFC and ACC, and in the other group, sham tms will be applied to the same regions. The application consists of a total of 50 sessions, 5 times a day. This application will last for a total of 10 days excluding weekends. ;
