First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small pilot study tested whether a 4-week course of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can reduce nerve pain and improve quality of life in 18 adults with diabetic neuropathy. Participants received rTMS and were monitored using questionnaires, nerve tests, and blood work. The goal was to see if this non-invasive brain stimulation could offer symptom relief.
