Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
The TMS protocol to be used, excitatory intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), has been shown to have minimal risk in children as young as 6 (Hong et al., 2015), as well as adults (Huang et al., 2005). This stimulation paradigm uses a series of theta burst stimulation (TBS) units. Each unit consists of 3 pulses of stimulation given at 50 Hz (Huang et al., 2005). Excitatory iTBS consists of 20 sets of 10 TBS units (2 second duration) repeated every 10 seconds for a total of 190 seconds. One session of excitatory stimulation delivers a total of 600 pulses.
