• Patients who failed H1 dTMS to the L DLPFC were administered H7 dTMS to the dmPFC and ACC resulting in 56% remission.

Objective Improvement in ADHD Symptoms Following dTMS To The Right Prefrontal Cortex: Two Cases

dTMS was administered 6 cm anterior to the motor strip on the right prefrontal cortex using the H7 coil at 120% of the motor threshold of the left hand at 20 Hz, 2 second stimulation, 20 second intertrain interval for 3000 total pulses. Patients completed an objective computerized measure (IVA+) before and after treatment. The IVA+ has two primary diagnostic scales, response control and attention. Response control is a measure of impulsivity, consistency, and reaction time and the attention quotient measures inattention and mental processing speed. The male patient received 22 treatments and his response control scores moved from the moderately impaired range to above average range with six-week durability. The female patient received 9 treatments and her response control scores improved from moderately impaired to the average range with 4-week durability. Both patients had some improvement in attention, but their scores remained in the impaired range.
