Comparison Of The Efficacies Of Intermittent Teta Burst And 10 Hz Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation In The Treatment Of Neuropathic Pain In Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Magstim Rapid2 Magnetic Stimulator for Neuropathic Pain. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Neuropathic pain is a common complication after spinal cord injury (SCI), which significantly affects the patient's quality of life and may be resistant to pharmacological treatment. In our study, we aimed to evaluate the efficacies of intermittent theta burst (iTBS) and high frequency (10 Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) by comparing them with each other and with sham stimulation, in the treatment of neuropathic pain resistant to pharmacological treatment in patients with SCI. Question 1: İs rTMS anda iTBS treatment, useful for pain severity and the effect of pain on daily functions, in the treatment of neuropathic pain in SCI Question 2: Are rTMS and iTBS treatments effective in depression in patients with neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury?
