Interventions
rTMS will employ the MagPro X100 stimulator equipped with the cool-B70 coil (MagVenture, Farum, Denmark). The dose will be a 120% resting motor threshold (rMT) in accordance to our latest trial using iTBS. Localization of the right and left DLPFC will follow the well-established Beam F3 procedure. Subjects will then undergo 30 sessions of rTMS, once daily on weekdays for 6 weeks. FDA-approved iTBS protocol will consist of bursts of 3 pulses at 50 Hz, bursts repeated at 5 Hz for 600 pulses total, 2 s on, 8 s off, for 3 min 9 sec, at 120% rMT. LFR will consist of 1 Hz stimulation consisting of a single train of 10min duration for 600 pulses total at 120% rMT.
