Accelerated Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
The rTMS protocol implemented in this study will include approximately 10-minute long sessions of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) with at least 50 minutes in between iTBS sessions. Study participants will receive the rTMS intervention for up to 50 sessions across a three-week period. The total of 50 sessions will be administered as up to 4 sessions each day, up to 5 days per week over an up to 3-week-long period.
