Effect of Repetative Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy on Neuropathic Pain in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury
The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of high-frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation(rTMS) therapy applied to the dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC) area on neuropathic pain in patients with spinal cord injury. In this area, there are very few studies on the effectiveness of rTMS treatment added to medical treatment in neuropathic pain. In addition, the number of studies comparing the effect of rTMS therapy applied to the DLFPC area is very few.
⁃ Between the ages of 20-70, who applied to the AFSU Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation inpatient service with the diagnosis of spinal cord injury and
• Having spinal cord injury with neurophatic pain at least six months ago,
• Able to follow two-stage verbal commands,
• Agreeing to participate in the study voluntarily and regularly,
• Patients who are medically stable (no previous myocardial infarction, no musculoskeletal problems) will be included in our study.
