What this Trial Is About
Peripheral neuropathy is a frequent condition, commonly associated with pain. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive method of modulation of brain plasticity and is regarded as one of alternative methods to alleviate pain associated with various kind of neuropathies. rTMS is usually performed once a day and the whole therapy of neuropathic pain lasts one week. In a number of recent clinical trials including patients with depression and some other disorders, rTMS was delivered several times a day, which reduced the time of the whole therapy. This approach was termed an accelerated rTMS. The purpose of this study is to investigate feasibility of accelerated rTMS in treatment of neuropathic pain.
