Active Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS): intensity 80% MT
"rTMS applies a pulsatile magnetic field to the scalp which painlessly induces electrical currents to the brain. Typically, rTMS is applied to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a brain region that is hypoactive in depression. Whereas standard rTMS stimulates superficial (1cm depth) cortical areas, recent advances in rTMS coil technology support stimulation of deeper (5 cm depth) limbic structures that are also relevant to depression.~Other Name: Brainsway rTMS"
Device: Active Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS); Stimulation intesity: 100% of MT
