Repetitive motor cortex stimulation reinforces the pain modulation circuits of peripheral neuropathic pain

Abstract Recent evidence indicates that motor cortex stimulation (MCS) is a potentially effective treatment for chronic neuropathic pain. However, the neural mechanisms underlying the attenuated hyperalgesia after MCS are not completely understood. In this study, we investigated the neural mechanism...
