Effect of TMS on Neuropathic Pain for Patients With Sci
Sponsor: Ankara Etlik City Hospital
Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of rTMS targeting the anterior cingulate cortex, another stimulation site that may be effective in the treatment of neuropathic pain, and to compare it with motor cortex stimulation.
Official title: The Effect of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Applied to the Primary Motor Cortex and Anterior Cingulate Cortex on Refractory Neuropathic Pain in Spinal Cord Injury

Interventions
active TMS
Patients in the active or sham primary motor cortex rTMS group will receive active or sham rTMS at 5 Hz targeting the M1 area of the lower extremity motor area under medical supervision for a total of 10 sessions over 2 weeks. Patients in the active anterior cingulate cortex rTMS group will also receive active 5 Hz rTMS targeting the anterior cingulate cortex for a total of 10 sessions over 2 weeks under medical supervision.
sham TMS
Patients in the active or sham primary motor cortex rTMS group will receive active or sham rTMS at 5 Hz targeting the M1 area of the lower extremity motor area under medical supervision for a total of 10 sessions over 2 weeks. Patients in the active anterior cingulate cortex rTMS group will also receive active 5 Hz rTMS targeting the anterior cingulate cortex for a total of 10 sessions over 2 weeks under medical supervision.
