Brain zapping study reveals how pain relief works
NCT ID NCT02849834
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique called rTMS changes brain activity in healthy volunteers and people with long-term nerve pain. Researchers measured brain responses before and after stimulation to see if these changes relate to pain relief. The goal was to better understand how rTMS works, not to test a new treatment.
