Huge thanks to all the co-authors, interns, research assistants, therapists and patients that made this research possible!
Very excited to announce that the primary outcomes paper of our TIPICCO rTMS for OCD trial is now online at Biological Psychiatry! 🧠 ⚡ biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-…

The first four oral speakers are known! Helene Voetterl, @KerstensSilke , @sofitz and @annelies_bronck will present their interesting #neuroscience research at #BeNeBrainStimulationSymposium the 9th of november. uhasselt.be/Brain-stimulat… @Fac_Revalidatie @Hersenstim
Thanks to all my co-authors (@Brainclinics and others) for this great effort!
We also show that, as well as OCD symptom severity, rTMS can improve depression symptoms and general symptom severity in OCD.
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. doi.org/10.1016/j.jad.…

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” 😂
