Table 1:
Demographic and stimulation parameters and tolerability. RMT=resting motor threshold as a percentage of maximum stimulator output. Mean stim=Mean stimulation field, a figure which estimates the delivered current for each stimulus. WNV=Wechsler Nonverbal Scale. CELF=Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals (5th edition) Standard Score. RMT pain=resting motor threshold pain score, scale 0–10 with 10 being highest/most intolerable.
