Interventions
rTMS (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation)
non invasive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation rTMS was administered at 10 Hz directed to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. The pulse intensity was set at 80% of the observed motor threshold, 4 s on-train, 26 s off inter-train interval with 2000 pulses per session for 5 sessions per week, for 15 sessions total (i.e., 30,000 pulses total in treatment course) in the active TMS condition. For the sham rTMS, the coil was tilted over the right dorsolateral pre-frontal cortex without touching the scalp.
