Summary

This study tests whether adding a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS to a three-week intensive rehab program can help teens with severe chronic pain feel better. Researchers will measure changes in pain, brain activity, and mental health in 25 youth aged 10-18. The goal is to see if stimulating a specific brain area can improve outcomes beyond rehab alone.
