Excited to share our systematic review and meta-analysis examining the potential benefit of symptom provocation in TMS for OCD and nicotine dependence. Thank you to everyone involved!
1. Our new @JAMAPsych publication shows that provoking symptoms before administering TMS for OCD and nicotine dependence may enhance clinical response. Read more here & tweetorial below: jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
