Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Appendix B: Safety Guidelines for TMS Protocols 

(Adapted from Rossi et al., 2009)

Researchers designing TMS protocols at CCBBI should use the Recommended rTMS Safety Limits table as a reference for pulse train duration, inter-train intervals, and maximum daily pulse counts. The table summarizes recommended safety limits for repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols, based on guidelines established by the International Safety Consensus Group (Rossi et al., 2009). These parameters are intended to minimize the risk of adverse events, including seizure, when TMS is administered in human research. All stimulation parameters must remain within these limits unless otherwise justified and approved by the IRB and CCBBI Steering Committee.
