About the possibility of applying of transranial magnetic stimulation TMS in the therapy of schizophrenia
Keywords:
transcranial magnetic stimulation, schizophreniaAbstract
Transcranial magnetic stimulation TMS is the technique using the strong time varying magnetic field to activate or inhibition ofcortical brain structures. TMS is applied in the neurological diagnostics and in basic research on various neuropsychological functions.The investigations on utilization of TMS stimulation in the psychiatric therapy were also undertaken. The most studies over the therapeuticactivity were conducted in patients with depression. Schizophrenia is the second psychiatric diagnosis (regarding to the numbers of publications) in which the effectiveness of TMS was studied. The paper presents the results of hitherto existing investigations on the TMS use in this indication. It was showed, that the low frequency stimulation of the neighborhood area of the appropriate sensory cortex (auditory cortex in the case „hearing the voices”; visual cortex for visual hallucinations) is the best method for reducing of productive symptoms of the type of hallucinations. It the case of negative symptoms most profitable effects was acquired with help of the high-frequency stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Hitherto existing investigations - despite certain positive effects - have rather cognitive than practice character. Studied groups of patients were numerical little; specific problems exist with the assurance of the blind conditions; there is not studies on the effects of long-term of TMS stimulation.References
