First seen Nov 21, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 19 times

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 using brain scans and electrical recordings. The goal was to understand how the brain adapts, not to provide a treatment.
