Reducing Pain in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Using Personalized Brain Stimulation: A Feasibility Study

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive, non-painful procedure used to relieve chronic pain and promote short-term changes. The first dorsal interossei (FDI) muscle of the left motor cortex will be targeted using neuronavigation software. A series of 90 triplet pulses will be delivered at 100 Hz stimulation. Stimulation will be delivered at 80% of the resting motor threshold obtained from the right FDI muscle. The delivery of rTMS requires \~ 15 minutes in total.
