You’re invited to join the Clinical TMS Society for this installment of our Grand Rounds Webinar Series: Anatomy of Theta Burst featuring Dr. Bob Sammons!
The presentation will review the Anatomy of Theta Burst. Theta burst is gaining popularity in both research and clinical practice but the fundamental differences with rTMS make it hard for many clinicians to understand. This presentation is designed to facilitate the understanding of and ability to explain theta burst in detail. After a brief review of how theta burst was discovered, the focus shifts to its clinical usage and advanced protocols. A review of continuous theta burst concludes the presentation.
Take advantage of our Q&A portion at the conclusion of the webinar!
At the end of this presentation participants will be able to:
- understand why does the definition of theta burst contain both 5 Hz and 50 Hz
- explain why theta burst was originally thought to be stronger and faster than rTMS
- discuss how theta burst originated
