Article Synopsis
- Peripheral neuropathic pain (pNeP) is common and often inadequately treated with existing therapies like medications and rTMS, prompting the need for more effective solutions.
- A study involving 31 pNeP patients found that neuronavigated deep rTMS targeting the posterior superior insula (PSI) significantly reduced pain intensity compared to a sham treatment, with a responder rate of 58.1% versus 19.4%.
- Although pain relief was significant immediately after treatment, effects diminished by one week post-treatment, with no major side effects reported.
