Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in the treatment of ketamine dependent on the clinical effect of the treatment of insomnia Liu Chen(center for mental health, yichang, hubei yichang, 443005)Abstract Objective: to investigate the repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, rTMS) to treat the clinical curative effect of ketamine dependent on insomnia. Methods: 90 cases of ketamine dependent with insomnia patients, randomly divided into treatment group and control group 45 cases each, the treatment group USES the rTMS treatment, the control group used the rTMS treatment, 2 groups of patients were given stimulus 1 / d, 20 min/times, continuous treatment of 4 weeks. With Pittsburgh sleep quality index questionnaire, polysomnography sleep latency and awakening times and sleep-wake time evaluation of curative effect, compare the two groups before and after treatment clinical curative effect. Results: the treatment group after treatment in patients with Pittsburgh sleep quality index is significantly lower than before treatment and control group (P＜0.01)； Polysomnography sleep latency and awakening frequency and time before the treatment and control group were significantly reduced (P＜0.01). Conclusion: rTMS can significantly shorten the ketamine dependent accompanying patients with insomnia sleep latency, reduce the number of awakening and awakening time, treatment of ketamine dependent.
