S49. Efficacy of High-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Panss Factors in Schizophrenia With Predominant Negative Symptoms – Results From an Exploratory Re-Analysis
Abstract:BackgroundRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied to the left frontal lobe is discussed to be a promising add-on treatment for negative symptoms in schizophrenia. The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) has been used as outcome parameter in several previous rTMS trials, but studies focusing on PANSS factor analyses are lacking.For this purpose, we used the available PANSS data of the ‘rTMS for the Treatment of Negative Symptoms in Schizophrenia’ (RESIS) trial to calculate different… Show more
