| Popis: | Introduction Pain management in patients with chronic pain and comorbid depression is challenging and understudied. There is interest in intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS), a new modality of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). This retrospective review describes changes in pain, anxiety and depression throughout iTBS treatment at the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted of patients who underwent their first acute series of iTBS treatments at the DLPFC for depression at a single institution between 2020 and 2023. Data on depression, anxiety, and pain were collected throughout iTBS treatment using the Beck Depression Inventory–II (BDI-II; higher scores indicate worse depression) and visual analogue scale (VAS; 0–100, higher scores indicate worse pain, anxiety, and depression). Nonparametric tests were used for all analyses.Results Of 104 patients, 52 reported moderate pain at baseline (50.0%). Median BDI-II scores decreased from 38.0 (interquartile range [IQR] = 29.0–44.0) to 24.0 (IQR = 9.0–36.0) from pre- to posttreatment (P |
