V originále
Backround:. The potential of influencing individual parameters of cognitive deficit in depression by rTMS has not been explored in detail yet. Methods: The group was formed by 20 men. Parameters of the stimulation: intensity of the stimulation 110% of motoric threshold, frequency of the stimulation (15Hz), continuation of the pulse set (10sec.), interspace among the sequences (30 sec.) and total numer of the applied stimuli (1500), length 3 weeks. Patients were examined by the set of neuropsychological tests, the interval test – retests was 4 weeks. Results: We found out statistically significant improvement in the part of A of TMT, in VFT, in all index numbers of WMS and in categories of perseverative errors and responses in WCST. In other tests there were not any increase of the achievement statisticaly significant. Only in the CPT test there appeared by some patients moderate decrease of the achievement. We found out statistically significant improvement in the part of A of TMT, in VFT, in all index numbers of WMS III. and in categories of perseverative errors and responses in WCST. In other tests (part B of TMT) there were not any increase of the achievemet statisticaly significant. Only in the CPT there appeared by some patients moderate decrease of the achievement. Conclusion: With regard to number of examined patiens we can not generalize our findings though we can regard this research as a benefit for the exploration of the problematics of positive, procognitive effect of rTMS.
