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.

Conditions

  • Spinal Cord Injury
  • Neuropathic Pain

Interventions

DEVICE

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.

DEVICE

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.
