Preferred term

repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation  

Definition

  • "Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive method of brain stimulation in which a train of magnetic pulses is delivered to a specific target location of the brain […]. rTMS involves trains of magnetic pulses of various frequencies and intensities. As a general rule, high frequencies ( ≥ 5 Hz) increase cortical excitability and low frequencies ( ≤ 1 Hz) suppress it […]" (Jiang et al., 2021).
