R Dataset / Package Stat2Data / TMS
On this R-data statistics page, you will find information about the TMS data set which pertains to TMS. The TMS data set is found in the Stat2Data R package. You can load the TMS data set in R by issuing the following command at the console data("TMS"). This will load the data into a variable called TMS. If R says the TMS data set is not found, you can try installing the package by issuing this command install.packages("Stat2Data") and then attempt to reload the data with the library() command. If you need to download R, you can go to the R project website. You can download a CSV (comma separated values) version of the TMS R data set. The size of this file is about 64 bytes.
TMS
Description
Effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on migraine headaches
Format
A dataset with 2 observations on the following 4 variables.
Group | Treatment group: Placebo or TMS |
Yes | Count of number of patients that were pain-free |
No | Count of number of patients that had pain |
Trials | Number of patients in the group |
Details
A study investigated whether a handheld device that sends a magnetic pulse into a person's head might be an effective treatment for migraine headaches. Researchers recruited 200 subjects who suffered from migraines and randomly assigned them to receive either the TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) treatment or a sham (placebo) treatment from a device that did not deliver any stimulation. Subjects were instructed to apply the device at the onset of migraine symptoms and then assess how they felt two hours later. This dataset is a two-way table of the results.
