Summary

This study tested a new type of brain stimulation (cTMS) to relieve pain in 20 adults with painful diabetic neuropathy. Participants received 5 days of stimulation. The goal was to see if it could reduce pain and improve daily function. This is an early-stage study, so results will show if this approach is worth testing in larger trials.
