Binge-purge episode incidence before, during, and after rTMS of the DMPFC. Full remission from binge-purge episodes was achieved by the third week of treatment, and was sustained for 9 weeks after the completion of treatment. Note that the treatment and post-treatment periods are separated purely for schematic reasons in this figure; in terms of temporal sequence, post-treatment week 1 immediately followed rTMS treatment week 4 with no intervening period.
