Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy in Neuropathic Painful Spinal Cord Injury Patients

Sponsor: Afyonkarahisar Health Sciences University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of high-frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(rTMS) therapy applied to the dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC) area on neuropathic pain in patients with spinal cord injury. In this area, there are very few studies on the effectiveness of rTMS treatment added to medical treatment in neuropathic pain. In addition, the number of studies comparing the effect of rTMS therapy applied to the DLFPC area is very few.

Interventions

DEVICE

High-frequency real-time rTMS protocol

It was planned to apply a total of 1200 beats to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex daily for 15 sessions. Along with the daily rTMS session, patients will continue to use the drugs in the medical treatment (pregabalin, gabapentin, carbamazepine) at the same effective dose. No dose changes will be made during rTMS sessions.

DEVICE

Sham rTMS Protocol

Along with the daily rTMS session, patients will continue to use the drugs in the medical treatment (pregabalin, gabapentin, carbamazepine) at the same effective dose. No dose changes will be made during rTMS sessions.
