English abstract:
      This study aims to review the research progress on the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on cognitive function in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) with the view of providing references for clinical application. As a common chronic mental disorder, GAD affects the cognitive function, the quality of life and social function of patients. Although first-line treatment is safe and effective for the majority of patients, its effect of improving cognitive function is unclear. As a non-invasive and safe physiotherapy technology, rTMS is expected to provide a new option for the clinical treatment of GAD patients. This review focuses on the characteristics of cognitive function of GAD, the current status of first-line therapy and the treatment of rTMS.
