SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Participants will be followed for an expected average of 5 weeks

Population: Study was terminated (that is, stopped prematurely) and no data were collected for one or more Outcome Measures.

Electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings and evaluations: Patients will undergo 19-channel EEG recordings before, and immediately after the end of the 5-day rTMS treatment. Patients will be kept awake during this procedure to control for the effects of sleep on EEG. Each EEG recording will be performed by employing scalp electrodes placed according to the International 10-20 system. Data will be analyzed for changes in the spectral characteristics of the EEG, most importantly in delta and beta frequency bands.
