Summary
This small pilot study looked at whether a single session of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can temporarily change how people with chronic low back pain feel pain. Forty adults with back pain lasting over 6 months received the treatment. The goal was to see if this non-invasive brain stimulation could be a drug-free way to manage pain.
