Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
As early as the 1990s, stimulation of the motor cortex by implanted electrodes made it possible to successfully treat certain chronic refractory neuropathic pain. In 1995 it was reported that the application of repeated shocks by transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex could induce an analgesic effect in a patient suffering from neuropathic pain.
This technique has proved its analgesic efficacy after an induction treatment over 5 days, in the context of chronic pain (neuropathic or fibromyalgia), but all the patients are not responders and there is currently, Of predictive criteria for response. It seems important to continue studies on this non-medicinal, non-invasive therapy with no significant adverse effects.
