Experimental Treatment

Group I: Transcranial magnetic stimulation participantsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

All participants will be recruited into a single arm where, across two sessions they will receive transcranial magnetic stimulation in separate session to either the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex or the angular gyrus. Session order will be counter-balanced across participants, and stimulation target will be blinded to the participants until after their participation is complete.

Does this experimental program encompass individuals older than 25 years old?

"According to the inclusion criteria, participants must range between 18 and 45 years of age. For minors, there are 54 separate trials while those over 65 can access 369 different studies."

Answered by AI

What are the eligibility requirements to participate in this research?

"To be considered eligible for this trial, aspiring participants must fit the criteria of healthy individuals aged 18-45 years old. 30 volunteers are required to complete the experiment."

Answered by AI

What is the participant pool size for this clinical examination?

"Affirmative. According to the information available on clinicaltrials.gov, recruitment for this medical study is ongoing; it was initially posted in April 1st 2023 and lastly updated on March 31st of the same year. A total of thirty individuals are needed from one site alone."

Answered by AI

What objectives does this clinical trial hope to accomplish?

"This trial's primary aims are to measure the immediate effects of target stimulation and gauge participants' functional excitation-inhibition balance (E/I Balance) 20 minutes before their first transcranial magnetic stimulation session. Secondary objectives include quantifying how prolonged target or sham stimulations impact E/I balances, with a focus on assessing any protracted recovery following either type of treatment."
