Very happy to announce that our network meta-analysis on rTMS for OCD has been published in Journal of Affective Disorders! Here, we show that three specific combinations of stimulation frequency and stimulation location are efficacious treatments for OCD.

Just published, new meta-analysis on rTMS in OCD by @sofitz and colleagues.
Three specific and efficacious rTMS protocols for OCD: pre-SMA, right-DLPFC and bilateral DLPFC.

We also show that, as well as OCD symptom severity, rTMS can improve depression symptoms and general symptom severity in OCD.

I’m not saying Dutch people are sometimes a bit lacking in wit and imagination, but there was a big national competition to name the new zeesluis (sea lock) in IJmuiden, and after months of debate the winner was.... “Zeesluis IJmuiden” 😂

OUR NEW PAPER.

Factors associated with COVID-19-related hospital death in the linked electronic health records of 17 MILLION adult NHS patients.

Largest study of its kind ever, anywhere.
