First seen Apr 07, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 5 times

Summary

This study tested two types of non-invasive brain stimulation—iTBS and 10 Hz rTMS—against a fake treatment to see if they could reduce nerve pain in people with spinal cord injury. 26 adults with long-lasting pain despite medication took part. The goal was to measure changes in pain severity, daily function, and depression. Results may offer a drug-free option for managing hard-to-treat pain.
