Effectiveness of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) on Pain and Quality of Life in Patients With Cancer Neuropathic Pain. Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for Neuropathic Pain. Completed, enrolled 10 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on pain and quality of life in patients with cancer neuropathic pain. Although there are currently different therapeutic options for neuropathic pain, most are limited or restricted to pharmacotherapy. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a tool recently incorporated into neuroscience in the management of neuropathic cancer pain. The study will include 10 patients with oncologic neuropathic pain who will receive 20 sessions of rTMS and the effect on pain and quality of life.

Interventions
rTMS is a minimal invasive technique which focus on the M1 cortex. It can stimulate the cortex by depolarizing superficial neurons. For this study we will use a MagVenture MagPro R20
