---

28 participants in 2 patient groups

Active transcranial magnetic stimulation

Active Comparator group

Description:

Active transcranial magnetic stimulation will induce real pulses using the transcranial magnetic stimulation device.

Treatment:

Device: Active repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Sham transcranial magnetic stimulation

Sham Comparator group

Description:

Sham transcranial magnetic stimulation will not induce any pulses using the same transcranial magnetic stimulation device but by also adding a sham block device.

Treatment:

Device: Sham repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
