  1. Note: SMA Supplementary motor area, rTMS repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, DLPFC dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, SD Standard Deviation. Between group (responders vs non-responders) differences in demographic variables were explored using chi-square analysis or Fisher’s exact test for categorical variables and t-tests for continuous variables. Response rate defined as at least 30% reduction of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale post-intervention.
