A Clinical Trial Into the Efficacy of rTMS Treatment for Treating Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa

This is a pilot study to test the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in treating individuals with Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. The main objective of this study is to determine the short and long-term efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in reducing eating disorder symptoms (i.e. binging, purging, restricting, intense fear of gaining wait, etc;) in Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa.

The investigators will also be comparing the brain activity patterns of individuals with Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa to healthy controls using electroencephalography (EEG). Further, the investigators would like to examine if the activation patterns in these patients change after receiving rTMS.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Confirmed diagnosis of Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa, must pass rTMS screening questionnaire

Exclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of another psychiatric disorder, except MDD.
• Any rTMS counter-indications:
• History of seizures
• Metal in head
• Currently pregnant
• Having received rTMS for any reason in the past as this would interfere with participant blinding.
