iTBS-DCS in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

rTMS is a non-invasive procedure in which cerebral electrical activity is influenced by a rapidly changing magnetic field. The magnetic field is created by a plastic-encased coil which is placed over the patient's scalp. The magnetic field can be directed onto specific areas of the brain. rTMS can modulate cerebral activity by low or high frequencies. Over time, the magnetic field pulses can gradually change the activity level of the stimulated brain region and help symptoms of mood disorders.

Sham rTMS involves a click replicating the sound of the magnetic discharge, without any magnetic pulse being delivered.
