Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. This study is exploring how effective rTMS is in reducing pain and related symptoms in veterans who served in the 1990-1991 Gulf War and have Gulf War Illness (GWI). Many veterans experience severe headaches, muscle, and joint pain, as well as depression. Typical medications haven't worked well and can have bad side effects. This study is testing if rTMS can help relieve these problems without the drawbacks of drugs.
