Participant Flow
Participants were recruited from a pediatric OCD specialty clinic between March 2022 and March 2023. Note that recruitment began in March 2022 before the first participant was formally enrolled on the study start date of April 1, 2022.
All enrolled participants were randomly assigned to a study arm.
Participant milestones
| Measure |
TMS at Visit 1, Sham at Visit 2
At visit 1, participants will receive active TMS using continuous theta burst over the preSMA. At Visit 2, participants will receive sham (fake) TMS in the same location.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: All teens will receive active TMS; they will be randomly assigned to receive active TMS at either visit 1 or visit 2 (order counterbalanced)

Sham at Visit 1, TMS at Visit 2
At visit 2, participants will receive active TMS using continuous theta burst over the preSMA. At Visit 1, participants will receive sham (fake) TMS in the same location.

PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Change from pre (within 1 hour before) to post (within 1 hour after) interventionPopulation: Does not include data from two participants (one withdrew before completing the measure, one could not be analyzed due to error with EEG data capture)
Electroencephalogram (EEG) measured amplitude on successful stop trials of the stop signal task (SST). Calculated by averaging the epochs of successful stop trials time-locked to the stop signal from the midline electrode (Cz).
