tMS for impulsivity in borderline personality disorder
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial studies whether magnetic brain stimulation (tMS) can reduce impulsive symptoms in people with borderline personality disorder. It may help by changing how brain networks involved in impulse control work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
