Note: Scores for pre-treatment and post-treatment indicate changes to psychiatric scale scores showing changes due to treatment. Severity of illness is scored using the Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale. CGI-S indicates the score given by the physician, ranging from 1 (normal, not at all ill) to 7 (among the most extremely ill patients in the population). The CGI-C indicates the change in CGI score after the treatment. Scoring for this scale ranges from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse)
iTBS intermittent theta-burst stimulation delivered at 3 s trains of 3 × 50hz bursts at 5 hz burst frequency with 8 inter-train seconds delay, 67 trains=603 pulses total
cTBS Continuous train of 200 × 3 × 50 hz bursts at 5 hz burst frequency, with no intertrain delay=600 pulses total
