Positive Response of Compulsive Sexual Behavior to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Abstract
Article AbstractBecause this piece does not have an abstract, we have provided for your benefit the first 3 sentences of the full text.Compulsive sexual behavior (CSB) is a disabling disorder, resulting in psychosocial impairment, financial and family problems, and elevated rates of sexually transmitted infections. Current treatments for CSB lack a strong evidence base and to complicate matters are often difficult to access.1 Although untested in large-scale trials, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may provide an effective treatment for CSB.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
