Single Session Effects of Prolonged Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation Targeting Two Brain Regions on Pain Perception in Patients with Painful Diabetic Neuropathy: A Preliminary Study

CONCLUSIONS: In pDN patients with NP, our study results demonstrated significant improvement in scores on self-report measures of pain (SRMP) after a single session of pcTBS targeting the M1 and DLPFC brain regions. Future studies should consider utilizing multiple sessions of pcTBS to evaluate its long-term effects on pain perception, safety and tolerability in patients with chronic pain.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was registered on the ClinicalTrials.gov website (NCT04988321).PMID:38538225 | DOI:10.31083/j.jin2303054
