Abstract

Introduction: The aim of present study was investigating effect of rTMS on improvement working memory and symptom of bipolar disorder in subjects. Method: To do so, 30bipolar disorder were selected among Tehran clinics’ clients using Purposeful sampling. For assessing working memory, N-back test was conducted by all subject For assessing bipolar symptoms, Beck Depression Inventory and Young Mania Inventory was conducted by all subjects. Subjects were divided into two groups; 15 subjects received rTMS and rest of them that is called control group didn’t receive it. Training sessions were conducted for 20 days; each day one session -20 minutes. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA). Findings: The results showed that effect of rTMS on working memory performance and bipolar symptoms improvemen thas been effective.
