Abstrakt: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive treatment option for psychiatric conditions, including catatonia. Our patient is a 30-year-old Filipino female admitted due to mutism, motor, and behavioral changes. Laboratory tests, cranial magnetic resonance imaging, electroencephalogram and cerebrospinal fluid analysis were unremarkable. The patient was diagnosed with stuporous catatonia and was given psychiatric medications, without significant improvement. The patient underwent 10 sessions of rTMS and showed marked improvement of symptoms. This highlights rTMS as a treatment option for catatonic patients that do not respond to pharmacotherapy or in situations where ECT is contraindicated or not available.
