It is a therapeutic technique that utilizes repetitive pulsed magnetic fields applied externally to the skull to act on specific areas of the central nervous system. By altering the membrane potential of cortical neurons, it induces electric currents, which in turn affect brain metabolism and neural electrical activity, leading to a series of physiological and biochemical reactions.on of the therapeutic target. The true stimulation group receives treatment at 100% of the rTMS intensity, while the sham stimulation group receives treatment at 20% of the rTMS intensity. All other parameters are the same. The treatment is conducted from Monday to Friday for a total of three weeks, amounting to 15 sessions.

It is a non-invasive brain stimulation method that involves injecting sinusoidal currents to manipulate and entrain inherent neural oscillations, thereby modulating neural activity. Under true stimulation, the stimulation electrode inputs 2mA, with a stimulation frequency of 40Hz. The other four return electrodes each output 0.5mA. The current fade-in and fade-out time is 10 seconds, and the stimulation duration is 30 minutes. For sham stimulation, the duration is the same as for true stimulation, but only the first and last 20 seconds have real electrical stimulation (i.e., 10 seconds of stimulation at the beginning and end, with no real stimulation during the intervening 29 minutes and 40 seconds).
