Dose-Efficacy of rTMS in Healthy Young Female Volunteers

rTMS and rTLSMS administered using a Magstim Rapid2 repetitive stimulator at pre-identified hotspots (cortical, lumbar, and sacral regions bilaterally. rTMS delivered with 250 pulses via the same double-cone coil used for the neurophysiological study, at either 1 Hz or 5 Hz. For rTLSMS (lumbar and sacral), 2400 pulses (600 per hotspot) were applied at 1 Hz, 5 Hz, or 10 Hz using a 70mm refrigerated air film coil (Magstim, UK). Each dose and stimulation site (cortical or peripheral) were tested in separate sessions.
