Repeated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Relieves Maternal Care Impairment
Sponsor: The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University
Summary
Objective: To evaluate the overall efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of maternal care impairment (MCI) and to explore the central mechanism of rTMS for MCI. Design: Combined functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) with Maternal Care Rating Scale (MCRS) were used to pinpoint hyperactive brain regions of patients with low MCRS score. Therefore, a clinical trial was performed to validate the therapeutic potential of rTMS in low MCRS score patients.

Conditions
Interventions
rTMS group
Patients with low score of Maternal Care Rating Scale received repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation at 1 Hz/s for 20 minutes for 2 week.
Sham device
For the sham rTMS group, the coil was placed over the ACC with the rTMS function disabled and pre-recorded acoustic artifacts were played to mimic the auditory experience of the rTMS group.
