Spectral EEG-guided adaptive neuromodulation for social anxiety disorder: a case report of personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation
This case report describes outcomes in a patient with performance-only subtype social anxiety disorder treated with personalized repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (PrTMS) guided by spectral EEG analysis. Clinical improvements in social anxiety, avoidance, and mood were accompanied by changes in EEG spectral features (increased alpha, decreased delta power), suggesting PrTMS warrants further investigation as an adjunctive treatment, though large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed for validation.
