Effects of Prolonged Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation in Chemotherapy-induced Peripheral Neuropathy

Sponsor: Taipei Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation

Summary

Laboratory studies have shown that prolonged continuous theta burst stimulation (pcTBS) provides better pain relief than 10 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), with a shorter stimulation time, making it more practical for clinical use. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy often causes neuropathic pain in cancer patients. The aims of this study are: 1. To compare the effects of pcTBS and 20 Hz rTMS on chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy; 2. To compare the effects of pcTBS applied to the primary motor cortex versus the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex on neuropathic pain as well as depression and anxiety.
