TLDR
High-frequency dTMS over the medial prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex significantly improved OCD symptoms and may be considered as a potential intervention for patients who do not respond adequately to pharmacological and psychological interventions.
Abstract
Objective:Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic and disabling condition that often responds unsatisfactorily to pharmacological and psychological treatments. Converging evidence suggests...

Evidence-based guidelines on the therapeutic use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS): An update (2014–2018)

TL;DR: These updated recommendations take into account all rTMS publications, including data prior to 2014, as well as currently reviewed literature until the end of 2018, and are based on the differences reached in therapeutic efficacy of real vs. sham rT MS protocols.

Toward a neurocircuit-based taxonomy to guide treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

TL;DR: In this paper, a heuristic neurocircuit-based taxonomy is proposed to guide the treatment of OCD by integrating information from cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging research, including case vignettes in which patients with OCD describe their symptoms and discuss different clinical profiles in the phenotypic expression of the condition.

Clinical advances in obsessive-compulsive disorder: a position statement by the International College of Obsessive-Compulsive Spectrum Disorders

TL;DR: The article presents those selected therapeutic advances judged to be of utmost relevance to the treatment of OCD, based on new and emerging evidence from clinical and translational science.
Journal ArticleDOI

Harmonizing the Neurobiology and Treatment of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

TL;DR: In this article, a review focuses on several promising areas of research that may help elucidate the pathophysiology of OCD and advance treatment and provides evidence for increased activity in brain regions that form a cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) loop, which is a common substrate for various interventions (whether drug, behavioral, or device) may be modulation (at different nodes or connections) of the CSTC circuit that mediates the symptoms of OCD.

A rating scale for depression

TL;DR: The present scale has been devised for use only on patients already diagnosed as suffering from affective disorder of depressive type, used for quantifying the results of an interview, and its value depends entirely on the skill of the interviewer in eliciting the necessary information.

Parallel Organization of Functionally Segregated Circuits Linking Basal Ganglia and Cortex

TL;DR: The basal ganglia serve primarily to integrate diverse inputs from the entire cerebral cortex and to "funnel" these influences, via the ventrolateral thalamus, to the motor cortex.

The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale: I. Development, Use, and Reliability

TL;DR: In a study involving four raters and 40 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder at various stages of treatment, interrater reliability for the total Yale-Brown Scale score and each of the 10 individual items was excellent, with high degree of internal consistency among all item scores demonstrated with Cronbach's alpha coefficient.

Contributions of anterior cingulate cortex to behaviour.

TL;DR: The cingulate epilepsy syndrome provides important support of experimental animal and human functional imaging studies for the role of anterior cingulates cortex in movement, affect and social behaviours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of suicidal intention: The Scale for Suicide Ideation.

TL;DR: The SSI scale was found to have high internal consistency and moderately high correlations with clinical ratings of suicidal risk and self-administered measures of self-harm, and it was sensitive to changes in levels of depression and hopelessness over time.
