Interventions
DEVICE

Active iTBS

Patients in this condition will undergo 20 sessions of iTBS, one per day for 20 consecutive working days (4 weeks). Each visit will last approximately 20 minutes, including preparation, 3 minutes of stimulation, and debriefing. The coil position will be identified using a neuronavigation system based on each participant's MRI. Intermittent theta burst stimulation will involve the delivery of triplets of pulses at 50 Hz, repeated at 5 Hz, at 100% of the individual motor threshold.

DEVICE

Sham stimulation

Patients in this condition will undergo 20 sessions of sham stimulation, one per day for 20 consecutive working days (4 weeks). Each visit will last approximately 20 minutes, including preparation, 3 minutes of stimulation, and debriefing. The coil position will be identified using a neuronavigation system based on each participant's MRI. Sham stimulation will be identical to active stimulation, with the only difference being the use of a sham coil, which produces the same sound as the real coil without generating a magnetic field
