Exploring the effects of iTBS delivered by the cTMS vs traditional rTMS

Canada currently employs patterned non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in the treatment of conditions such as depression and anxiety. The goal of this study will aim to determine whether there is a more effective way to deliver brain stimulation compared to traditional methods. We will compare a new controlled TMS compared to the traditional TMS hardware. The outcomes of this research allow us to undercover whether the use of the controlled TMS is more effective and can cause longer lasting effects in the brain compared to the traditional methods. This will be important for treatments using brain stimulation as it will provide potentially more impactful therapeutic interventions that use non-invasive brain stimulation.
