DEVICE

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) works by delivering a magnetic pulse to a focal brain region. TMS has a high degree of safety and has been studied as an intervention for many mental health and neurological conditions. Repetitive TMS (rTMS) delivers pulses at a set time interval in order to modulate neural activity in that region.

DEVICE

Sham Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

The sham TMS coil will make a similar sound to the real rTMS coil, but will not deliver a magnetic pulse. This is a no-treatment device.

DEVICE

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Right Dorsomedial Prefrontal Cortex

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) works by delivering a magnetic pulse to a focal brain region. TMS has a high degree of safety and has been studied as an intervention for many mental health and neurological conditions. Repetitive TMS (rTMS) delivers pulses at a set time interval in order to modulate neural activity in that region.
