The research aims to investigate functional connectivity alterations in pedophilic disorder and the effects of degarelix treatment.
Compared resting state functional connectivity in pedophilic disorder versus healthy controls
Analyzed baseline functional connectivity data
Evaluated changes in functional connectivity after degarelix treatment
Identified alterations in functional connectivity in individuals with pedophilic disorder
No consistent treatment-specific functional connectivity signature was found for degarelix
Abstract
We found FC alterations in PeD compared to healthy controls at baseline, however, no consistent, treatment specific FC signature of degarelix was demonstrated.
