简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of repeated low-frequency Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, combined with gambling cues, on gambling craving. Participants are pathological gamblers. A single real stimulation and a single shame stimulation are administered in a random order for each participant (cross-over study).
