repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

By defining intensity of 80% of the resting Motor Threshold detected from motor area for Rt Abductor Pollicis Brevis (APB), we will apply repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) using 70-mm diameter air-cooled figure-of-8 coil and SuperRapid2 Magnetic Stimulator with high frequency (25Hz), Stimuli will be delivered for total 2000 pulse (divided on 50 trains with 40 pulses per train with inter-train interval 30 seconds) for the left DLPFC (coil placed tangential over the optimal position of 7 cm anterior to hand motor hotspot area detected for Real group and the same coil placed perpendicular with hand of coil pointing upward over occipital cortex for Sham group). Sessions will be consecutive for ten days period with repetition of consecutive 5 sessions as boosting doses on 5 days period over the follow up visits every month for the next 3 months.
