Because several targets of s-TMS studies play an important role in cognitive performance, the excitation or inhibition of these cortical areas could impair the patient’s performance in certain cognitive domains. Long-term studies assessing the effects of TMS on cognition have, in fact, shown…
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses magnetic pulses to induce electrical current in the underlying neuronal tissue. A variety of TMS coils exist on the market, differing primarily in configuration, orientation, and flexibility of the wire windings of the coil. Deep TMSTM utilizes…
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a pain disorder that can occur with or without nerve trauma, known as CRPS Type II and CRPS Type I, respectively. Recently, the role of cortical changes and maladaptive neuroplasticity in response to chronic pain has become…
We conducted a direct comparison of the analgesic effects resulting from "superficial" and "deep" repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied to the primary motor cortex in patients with central neuropathic pain. A total of fifty-nine consecutive patients were randomly assigned to receive…

A high rate of comorbidity exists between chronic pain and depression. In addition, chronic pain sufferers who also have depression have been shown in studies to have poorer health outcomes, including reduced response to treatment. Individuals with comorbid chronic pain and depression…
Central neuropathic pain (CNP) is caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory pathways in the CNS. Unfortunately, attempts to control CNP have been marked by refractoriness and unsuccessfulness. rTMStargeted to the primary motor cortex (M1) has been successfully used to…
Headache is among the most prevalent causes of disability worldwide. Non-pharmacologic interventions, including neuromodulation therapies, have been proposed in patients who are treatment resistant or intolerant to medications. Objective: To perform a systematic review on the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)…
Electrical motor cortex stimulation can relieve neuropathic pain (NP), but its use requires patients to undergo an invasive procedure. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the primary motor cortex (M1) using a figure-8 coil can relieve NP noninvasively, but its ability to…
Painful neuropathy is associated with plasticity changes inthe nervous system. Standard repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) is a non-invasive technique used to study changes in corticalexcitability and to inhibit pain perception. Deep rTMS is a newerdevelopment that allows direct activation of deeper neuronal…
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a prevalent chronic pain syndrome, with limited therapeutic options. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is emerging as a potential new treatment modality for FM. Deep TMS™ is a novel modification of standard rTMS, capable of delivering stimulation to a…
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS™) can be an alternative treatment to relieve pain in chronic migraine (CM). Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of high-frequency Deep TMS in add-on to standard treatment for CM in patients…
Pain is the main symptom of Bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC). It is neuropathic and perceived as violent pressure or a stabbing pain in thesuprapubic region causing a persistent discomfort thatincreases with bladder filling.No single therapy for BPS/IC currently exists.To date, the…
