Prolonged Continuous Theta-burst Stimulation is More Analgesic Than ‘Classical’ High Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the primary motor cortex (M1) at high frequency (>5 Hz) induces analgesic effects, probably by activating pain modulation systems. A new rTMS paradigm – theta burst stimulation (TBS) – consists of bursts of three pulses at 50 Hz r...
