Introduction: The Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a safe and noninvasive method for treatment of psychological disorders from two decade and is approved by FDA from 2008 .Obsessive compulsive disorder is a psychological disorder characterized by repetitive, intrusive thoughts and compulsive behavior. Different methods have been proposed for treatment obsessive-compulsive disorder which one of them is TMS. In my study I treated seven patients with OCD disorder with TMS with constant medication.
Methods: For six weeks seven patients who reffered to Sobhe Sadeg center treated with twenty sessions TMS and drugs. The psychiatrist confirmed them with using of the structured clinical interview (SCID) of DSM –V. The pretest, post Test measurement was the Yale- Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (YBOCS) score.
Results: After transcranial magnetic stimulation with 1HZ frequency to the supplementary motor area (SMA) for six weeks we observed statistically significant reductions in the YBOCS score.
Conclusion: The SMA area is a good point in TMS therapy for treatment of obsessive compulsive disorders with the other treatments.
