Women with recurrent pregnancy loss often experience reproductive, metabolic, and emotional stress at the same time, and this combined vulnerability may be associated with altered autonomic regulation and exaggerated cardiac responses to stress. The left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is a key brain region involved in cognitive control, emotion regulation, and top-down modulation of autonomic function.\n\nEligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either real or sham rTMS at the same left dorsolateral prefrontal target. The stimulation protocol will use 10 Hz rTMS at 100% motor threshold, delivered in 30 cycles of 5 s stimulation followed by 11 s inter-train interval, with simultaneous 3-lead electrocardiography recording. The primary endpoint will be the between-group difference in mean heart-brain coupling across 30 stimulation cycles. Safety and tolerability will also be monitored.
