Summary

This study is testing whether combining a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (rTMS) with virtual reality mirror therapy can better relieve chronic nerve pain that hasn't responded to standard drugs. Researchers will enroll 64 adults with moderate to severe nerve pain lasting at least 6 months. Participants will receive the combined treatment, and the study will measure changes in pain levels and quality of life over several weeks.
