“…In 2011, Sampson et al (21) conducted low-frequency rTMS (1 Hz, 1,600 pulses/session) over the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in nine patients with NP and showed that low-frequency rTMS was also effective in rapid-onset pain relief. In 2016, three more studies (27)(28)(29) supported that rTMS stimulation over the M1 effectively relieved NP. Furthermore, studies conducted in 2017 and 2018 reported that high-frequency (5-20 Hz) stimulations effectively controlled NP (30,31,33).…”

Recently, clinicians have been using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for treating various pain conditions. This systematic narrative review aimed to examine the use and efficacy of rTMS for controlling various pain conditions. A PubMed search was conducted for articles that were published until June 7, 2019 and used rTMS for pain alleviation. The key search phrase for identifying potentially relevant articles was (repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation AND pain). The following inclusion criteria were applied for article selection: (1) patients with pain, (2) rTMS was applied for pain management, and (3) follow-up evaluations were performed after rTMS stimulation to assess the reduction in pain. Review articles were excluded. Overall, 1,030 potentially relevant articles were identified. After reading the titles and abstracts and assessing eligibility based on the full-text articles, 106 publications were finally included in our analysis. Overall, our findings suggested that rTMS is beneficial for treating neuropathic pain of various origins, such as central pain, pain from peripheral nerve disorders, fibromyalgia, and migraine. Although data on the use of rTMS for orofacial pain, including trigeminal neuralgia, phantom pain, low back pain, myofascial pain syndrome, pelvic pain, and complex regional pain syndrome, were promising, there was insufficient evidence to determine the efficacy of rTMS for treating these conditions. Therefore, further studies are needed to validate the effects of rTMS on pain relief in these conditions. Overall, this review will help guide clinicians in making informed decisions regarding whether rTMS is an appropriate option for managing various pain conditions.

“…Our literature search located 19 studies that examined the clinical usefulness of rTMS to control chronic NP (12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33). Among the 19 studies, two were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (19,23).…”

“…Such comprehensive analysis of motor maps would be especially valuable in fields of neurorehabilitation and neuroenhancement where even small modifications of the map might be important for estimating the effects of intervention. Indeed, TMS mapping has already been shown to have a potential diagnostic/therapeutic value in pathological conditions such as stroke (Lüdemann-Podubecká and Nowak, 2016 ), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Chervyakov et al, 2015 ), dystonia (Thickbroom et al, 2003 ; Quartarone, 2013 ), multiple sclerosis (Thickbroom et al, 2005 ), pain therapy (Nurmikko et al, 2016 ) etc, as well as in healthy subjects under experimental conditions such as immobilization, training or neuromodulation (Ngomo et al, 2012 ; Boudreau et al, 2013 ) or in special populations such as musicians (Elbert and Rockstroh, 2004 ), sportsmen (Hänggi et al, 2015 ) or surgery trainees. TMSmap may supposedly increase this potential.…”

The use of the MRI-navigation system ensures accurate targeting of TMS. This, in turn, results in TMS motor mapping becoming a routinely used procedure in neuroscience and neurosurgery. However, currently, there is no standardized methodology for assessment of TMS motor-mapping results. Therefore, we developed TMSmap—free standalone graphical interface software for the quantitative analysis of the TMS motor mapping results (http://tmsmap.ru/). In addition to the estimation of standard parameters (such as the size of cortical muscle representation and the center of gravity location), it allows estimation of the volume of cortical representations, excitability profile of the cortical surface map, and the overlap between cortical representations. The input data for the software includes the coordinates of the coil position (or electric field maximum) and the corresponding response in each stimulation point. TMSmap has been developed for versatile assessment and comparison of TMS maps relating to different experimental interventions including, but not limited to longitudinal, pharmacological and clinical studies (e.g., stroke recovery). To illustrate the use of TMSmap we provide examples of the actual TMS motor-mapping analysis of two healthy subjects and one chronic stroke patient.
