Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Transcranial magnetic stimulation for pain control. Double-blind study of different frequencies against placebo, and correlation with motor cortex stimulation efficacy.
To assess, using a double-blind procedure, the pain-relieving effects of rTMS against placebo, and their predictive value regarding the efficacy of implanted motor cortex stimulation (MCS). ⋯ Defining rTMS parameters is a crucial step before proposing rTMS as predictive test of SCM efficacy in clinical practice.
