An interventional study of repetitive Transcranial Stimulation Magnetic (rTMS) and sham rTMS in Borderline Personality Disorder, sponsored by University Hospital, Toulouse. Completed at 1 site in France. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-05-11.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Toulouse · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Primary purpose : to assess the effect on neuropsychological tasks related to planning of 10 daily sessions of right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with High-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on borderline personality disorder (BPD) patients.
Hypothesis : BPD patients receiving 10 sessions of rTMS will have greater improvement in the average number of move to achieve tasks of the Tower of London, than those receiving sham rTMS.

Exclusion Criteria:
rTMS sessions
Procedure: repetitive Transcranial Stimulation Magnetic (rTMS)
sham rTMS (control)
Procedure: sham rTMS
The motor threshold was determined in each subject once, before treatment. This was defined as the lowest stimulation intensity capable of inducing a visible movement at least five times out of 10 stimulations. The position of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was defined as 5 cm anterior (in a parasagittal line) to the motor cortex. The stimulus intensity was 80% of the patient's motor threshold intensity. Treatments were given for 20 minutes per day over 10 working days.
