Summary

This pilot study compares two schedules of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in 42 adults with depression and long COVID. One group gets one session daily for six weeks; the other gets six sessions daily for five days. Researchers will measure changes in depression, fatigue, and immune markers in the blood. The goal is to see if the faster schedule works better and is safe.
