A pilot trial of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex in anorexia nervosa: resting fMRI correlates of response

Table 1 Pschometric measures of effect for DMPFC-rTMS in AN

Variable	Pre-treatment	Post-treatment	p-value
*EDE global*	*4.12*	*3.35*	.010**
EDE restraint	3.65	3.21	.095
EDE eating concerns	3.92	3.52	.054
EDE shape concerns	4.64	3.63	.042*
EDE weight concerns	4.23	3.35	.024*
BDI	36.16	30.24	.041*
HAM-D	15.50	14.28	.066
BAI	23.43	12.87	<.001*
DERS	115.33	117.00	.594
Age at start of treatment	21–56, mean 31.2 ± SD 9.8
Body Mass Index	14.5–18.5, mean 16.4 ± SD 1.3

Significant improvements were seen in the EDE global score and the BAI, after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons (** = p < 0.05, corrected). Considering uncorrected p-values in an exploratory fashion, the EDE subscales for shape and weight concerns as well as the BDI showed significant improvement (* = p < 0.05, uncorrected)
