The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on anxiety state in older patients with generalized anxiety disorder.

Conditions

  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Interventions

DEVICE

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

rTMS is applied using a transcranial magnetic stimulator with a figure-of-8 coil once per day for 10 consecutive days. rTMS is delivered to the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) at a frequency of 1 Hz for 20 minutes (1200 total pulses).

DEVICE

Sham Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Sham-rTMS is performed in the same way as the treatment group except that the coil is rotated 90° away from the scalp.
