Summary
Neuropathic pain is a chronic condition that significantly affects quality of life and often responds poorly to conventional pharmacological treatments. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has emerged as a non-invasive neuromodulation technique with potential analgesic effects. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of rTMS in reducing neuropathic pain intensity among patients with confirmed neuropathic pain. A clinical study was conducted involving adult patients who met diagnostic criteria for neuropathic pain. Participants received rTMS sessions targeting the motor cortex over a defined treatment period. Pain intensity was assessed using standardized pain scales before and after treatment. The study examined changes in pain scores following rTMS therapy and evaluated its potential as an adjunctive treatment for neuropathic pain. The findings of this study may contribute to understanding the therapeutic role of rTMS in the management of neuropathic pain and support its use as a non-invasive treatment option.
