- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The Short PROMIS Questionnaire 2 months The SPQ is a 160-question paper that counsellors and researchers can use to measure an individual's level of addictive tendency in each of sixteen distinct behavioural areas. Will be applied at the following times:
T0 (weeks 0 - immediately prior to the rTMS) T1 (4 weeks, after four weeks of treatment with rTMS) and T2 (8 weeks, four weeks after completing treatment).
The improvement rate of 10% or more, will be our primary measure of efficacy. T0 (
