Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Placebo Group
Group I: Deep TMS TreatmentActive Control1 Intervention
Deep TMS treatment is a new form of TMS which allows direct stimulation of deeper neuronal pathways than the standard TMS. The H-coil is a novel DTMS coil designed to allow deeper brain stimulation without a significant increase of electric fields induced in superficial cortical regions.
Group II: Sham TreatmentPlacebo Group1 Intervention
In the sham treatment,the electrical field induced by the sham coil cannot invoke any action potentials and if no action potentials are induced, then the electric field is insignificant and there is no treatment effect on the brain.
