Summary

This study is testing whether a non-invasive brain stimulation method called intermittent theta-burst stimulation (iTBS) can reduce symptoms of social anxiety disorder. One hundred adults with social anxiety will receive either real iTBS (to the left or right prefrontal cortex) or a sham (fake) treatment for one week. Researchers will track changes in anxiety symptoms and brain activity using EEG and questionnaires over 8 weeks to see if this approach works.
