TMS Treatment Study

Sasha Gorrell, PhD 

Non-invasive Brain Stimulation to Treat Anorexia Nervosa

The goal of this study is to better understand how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to effectively treat anorexia nervosa. TMS involves non-invasive electromagnetic brain stimulation at the orbitofrontal cortex.

Participants will receive rTMS treatment for 10 days (2 consecutive weeks). Each day will involve 5 rTMS treatments and will require approximately 5 hours. Participants in this group will also undergo fMRI before the first TMS treatment and after the final TMS treatment.

We are recruiting adults (18+) with anorexia nervosa to participate.

By participating, you can receive a potential treatment for anorexia nervosa at no cost to you.
