Summary
This small study will test whether a type of brain stimulation called TMS can help new mothers with obsessive-compulsive disorder that started or worsened after childbirth. Fifteen women will receive 50 sessions over 10 days, along with brain scans and symptom checks. The goal is to see if the treatment is tolerable and whether it reduces OCD symptoms.
