Özet
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is used reliably as an alternative method in the treatment of a number of treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders. However, information about the daily practice is limited. In this article, we aim to report and discuss the 10-years results of a clinic that applies TMS to treatment-resistant psychiatric disorders. This naturalistic study is a retrospective review of data routinely collected from patients undergoing TMS between 2010 and 2020. A total of 284 patients with diagnoses of major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 40.49 +/- 12.64 years. In general, when the responses of all patients were examined, 26.1% were evaluated as response, 29.2% as partial response, and 44.7% as inadequate response. It has been determined that MDD responds to treatment better than other disorders. Regardless of the diagnosis, a significant relationship was found between response and age. The multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that patients with improvement from TMS were less likely to have advanced age and not to have been diagnosed with PTSD. The idea that TMS may be useful for some patients, but not every patient, is supported.
