The Use of Slow-Frequency Prefrontal Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Refractory Neuropathic Pain

Abstract

Although these are preliminary findings in an open treatment trial, the subjects in this trial are among the least likely to have a placebo response. Given that rTMS is a well-tolerated and noninvasive intervention, any sustained improvement in neuropathic pain with rTMS is encouraging.
