Caption

For the simulation rTMS treatment, electrodes on scalp delivered tapping and twitching sensations mimicking those produced by the electromagnet in the active treatment. Electrodes were attached, but inactive, in the active treatment. The patients also wore noise-dampening earphones, as demonstrated above by MUSC nurse Berry Anderson.
