Active Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
Strong electromagnetic field (\~2Tesla) generated briefly (\~1ms) but repetitively (1Hz) for 30min, five sessions a week for up to eight weeks.
Sham Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
Generates a field with the same parameters as active rTMS (see active arm for parameters), however, the actual magnetic fields are blocked by an electromagnetic shield built into a sham coil. The field is impeded from stimulating the brain.
