Summary
This study tested a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS to see if it can reduce chronic visceral pain in people with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D). 42 adults with IBS-D received rTMS, and researchers measured changes in pain and bowel symptoms using questionnaires and scans. The goal was to find out if targeting overactive brain areas can provide relief.
