rTMS for Orthopaedic Trauma Patients
This study evaluates an accelerated schedule of theta-burst stimulation using a transcranial magnetic stimulation device for orthopaedic trauma patients. In this open label study, all participants will receive accelerated theta-burst stimulation. This study will examine whether symptoms of psychiatric distress and opioid use in orthopaedic trauma patients can be mitigated with rTMS to improve post-injury recovery.
