Augmented psychotherapy with rTMS in functional neurological disorder

CONCLUSION: We propose several hypotheses concerning the effectiveness of this type of biofeedback protocol using rTMS. We also suggest that this type of protocol should be systematically associated with psychotherapeutic support on biographical elements for holistic management. This observation underlines the interest of potentiating cognitive-behavioral therapies using the principle of operant conditioning with the aid of brain stimulation in functional neurological disorders, and motivates the realization of future studies.PMID:34099244 | DOI:10.1016/j.encep.2021.02.017
