Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Medicine - Department of Neurophysiology Summary: Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of high-frequency rTMS over left DLPFC in treating patients with primary chronic daily headaches (chronic tension type headache and chronic migraine). Results: Patients of the study group, after real rTMS stimulation, showed a statistically highly significant reduction of the measured headache parameters compared to the control group with (P-value< 0.001) and the percentage of improvement = 94.5%. No significant reduction of headache parameters, after sham rTMS stimulation, was observed in the control group with (P-value > 0.05) and percentage of improvement = 7.9%.
