transcranial magnetic stimulation
During treatment, the patient underwent cTBS targeting the left SMA for 7 consecutive days. Each treatment day comprised six rounds of cTBS, with a 15-minute interval between each. A single cTBS session involved trains of three pulses at 50 Hz, repeated every 200 ms (5 Hz), until reaching a total of 600 pulses, lasting 40s. Stimulation intensity remained at 80% of resting motor threshold. In total, patients received 25,200 pulses throughout the treatment period.
