Summary

This study looks at whether a single session of a brain stimulation technique called rTMS can change heart activity in women who have had multiple pregnancy losses and also have anxiety. Forty-six women will receive either real or fake stimulation while their heart rate is monitored. The goal is to understand how the brain controls the heart in this condition, not to treat the pregnancy loss itself.
