Author(s): Nayab Anjum*, Zeba Khan, M. Reyazuddin and Faisal Shaan
Introduction: The therapeutic use of rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) across the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in the management of negative symptoms of schizophrenia has recently emerged. This study was done to determine the effectiveness of high frequency rTMS over the left DLPFC (Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex) in reducing negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Aim: To determine the efficacy of high frequency rTMS (20 Hz, 110 MT, 3000 pulses/day) over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex as an augmentation treatment in negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Materials and methods: 50 Patients with Schizophrenia diagnosed as per ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases) having predominantly negative symptoms that fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited for study.
