Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Trigeminal Neuralgia

NCT04120129 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 51

Last updated 2020-11-13

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary objective is to establish the feasibility of using TMS for COFP pain management in the interim period before surgery. This will be investigated by comparing the non-intervention group's self-reported pain to those who recieved TMS at several timepoints.

Conditions

  • Facial Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

TMS

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive brain stimulation technique which produces short pulsatile magnetic fields (similar to that of an MRI) via two extracranial, figure 8-shaped electric coils which can induce a small, temporary, electric current in the brain currently approved and used for depression.

DEVICE

sham TMS coil

The sham TMS does cause some stimulation to the participant so that the participants get the sensation of treatment without any cortical excitation that TMS delivers. The sensation experienced is similar to the muscle twitching or finger tapping experienced by TMS participants.
