Measure
Active rTMS
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) will be delivered to the left PFC, defined as a location 6 cm (cm) anterior to the right hand motor thumb area. A research nurse will deliver the treatments. rTMS will be delivered with a figure-eight coil at 120% motor threshold, 10 Hertz (Hz), 5 s (s) train duration, 20 s intertrain interval for 50 min (6000 pulses) 3 times daily for 3 days (total 9 sessions, 54,000 stimuli). repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS): A Neurostar TMS Therapy System and Neurostar XPLOR coil system (Neuronetics, Malvern, Pennsylvania) will be used to deliver stimulation.
Sham rTMS
Parameters for sham Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) are identical to those for active stimulation except that aluminum plate blocks the propagation of a magnetic field. The sound and physical sensation is the same as with the active coil while been biologically inactive. repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS): A Neurostar TMS Therapy System and Neurostar XPLOR coil system (Neuronetics, Malvern, Pennsylvania) will be used to deliver stimulation.
