Interventions
- ProcedureElectromagnetic Brain Pulsing Variable Pulse Protocol (EMBP) - 2 weeks
The Electromagnetic Brain Pulsing Variable Pulse Protocol (EMBP) will be administered through an FDA-approved Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) medical device. Results of the baseline EEG will be uploaded to NoetherTech's EMBP software on the Mayo Clinic campus, and transferred to Noethertech servers for TMS parameter determination TMS treatment will be one 30 min session per day, 5 days per week (Monday-Friday), for 2 weeks.
