[The application of rTMS in OCD in the Netherlands and Belgium: consensus statement].

Non-invasive brain stimulation, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), is increasingly used in the treatment of neurological diseases and psychiatric disorders. Where rTMS is already an accepted treatment option for depression, in the Netherlands/Belgium, no consensus exist on the application of rTMS for (obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). People with OCD who do not respond enough to exposure therapy and serotonergic antidepressants are in great need for treatment alternatives.
