TABLE 1.
Changes in attention, fatigue, and discomfort for all groups tested before (pre) and after (post) application of the interventions
| Group | Attention |
Fatigue | Discomfort | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pre | Post | Pre | Post | Pre | Post | |
| 1-Hz rTMS + iTBSsham | 7.50 ± 0.46 | 8.12 ± 0.35 | 4.50 ± 0.80 | 4.12 ± 0.79 | 1.75 ± 0.31 | 1.12 ± 0.12 |
| 1-Hz rTMSsham + iTBSsham | 8.22 ± 0.40 | 8.55 ± 0.41 | 4.44 ± 0.67 | 4.67 ± 0.87 | 1.66 ± 0.44 | 2.00 ± 0.55 |
| 1-Hz rTMSsham + iTBS | 7.44 ± 0.50 | 7.44 ± 0.62 | 4.55 ± 0.90 | 3.77 ± 0.85 | 1.55 ± 0.24 | 1.77 ± 0.32 |
| 1-Hz rTMS + iTBS | 8.50 ± 0.46 | 9.00 ± 0.36 | 4.37 ± 0.84 | 3.00 ± 0.73 | 1.75 ± 0.41 | 1.00 ± 0.79 |
Values are means ± SE. Ranges are as follows: attention (1–10), where 1 = not attentive and 10 = very attentive; fatigue (1–10), where 1 = strong fatigue and 10 = no fatigue; and discomfort (1–10), where 1 = no discomfort and 10 = strong discomfort. Note that there was no significant change within or across groups.
