Short-term effect of coil handle orientations on fMRI-guided rTMS on insomnia: A case report

Introduction: The coil handle orientation plays a pivotal role in the therapeutic efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). However, there is currently no consensus on the optimal individualized coil handle orientation, especially for non-motor areas. Case presentation: The pr...

description Introduction: The coil handle orientation plays a pivotal role in the therapeutic efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). However, there is currently no consensus on the optimal individualized coil handle orientation, especially for non-motor areas. Case presentation: The present case reported a short-term effect of functional connectivity (FC)-guided rTMS with coil handle posterior-anterior 45° (PA45°) and posterior-anterior 135° (PA135°) on a patient with insomnia. Notably, in this case, the PA45° orientation was nearly perpendicular to the adjacent sulcus, while the PA135° orientation was almost parallel to it. Local brain activity and functional connectivity were assessed using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (RS-fMRI). Additionally, motor evoked potentials (MEPs) were captured both pre and post-rTMS sessions. Findings: The coil handle orientation PA45° outperformed the PA135° in both RS-fMRI and MEP outcomes. Moreover, a 9-day rTMS treatment led to discernible improvements in symptoms of depression and anxiety, complemented by a modest enhancement in sleep quality.
