Quantitative Assessment of Pain Threshold Induced by a Single-Pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Quantitative Assessment of Pain Threshold Induced by a Single-Pulse Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is commonly used in basic research to evaluate human brain function. Although scalp pain is a side effect, no studies have quantitatively assessed the TMS intensity threshold for inducing pain and whether sensitivity to TMS-induced pain differs between sexes....
