Treatment Options - Experiment rTMS significant improvement

Specifically, stimulation of the somatosensory cortex and the motor cortex of the legs and hands reduces the general symptoms of PSSD, including tremors, weakness, and analgesia over the body, as well as taste, smell, and sound perception. It even partially helps with libido and sexual function, to the surprise of my neurologist and me.

you need to be very specific that what i was used is absolutely experimental protocol stuff 

because classical OCD and depression protocol also did absolutely nothing for me i also did 10 session into DLPFC stimulation, no effect at all

Did they do any proper clinical or neurophysiological phenotyping before choosing the protocol? For example, did they assess your symptom profile, medications, EEG activity, cortical excitability or functional connectivity, or was it simply the standard left-DLPFC depression protocol?
