ADVERSE EFFECTS, TINNITUS
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is considered a non‐invasive, painless and safe method to treat patients with neurological or psychiatric disorders as long as the safety guidelines of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology [EEG and electromyography (EMG) passively record electrical biosignals and have no side effects; irritation to the skin may be provoked by application of the electrode cream (EEG) or adhesive electrodes (EMG).MRI is a very commonly applied diagnostic method. Severe adverse effects of magnetic fields and radio frequency are not known, as long as the standardized MRI inclusion / exclusion criteria are obeyed. Possible side effects are muscle twitching or irritation of peripheral nerves while the patient is inside of the MRI-scanner. Other side effects are headaches and tinnitus as well as heating of metallic tattoos.All experiments will be performed in a suitable location in a University Hospital with a qualified medical doctor available on site throughout the treatment sessions.
