“…61 Both neuromodulatory techniques have been employed to treat patients with neuropathic pain. [62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74] Recent guidelines on the use of rTMS 75 and three meta-analyses on the role of rTMS in the treatment of neuropathic pain 11,76,77 indicate that rTMS delivered to M1 produces significant analgesic effects in 45-60% of patients. Fewer tDCS studies have been published in the context of neuropathic pain treatment, and the level of evidence is currently lower than that for rTMS.…”

Context: Past evidence has shown that invasive and non-invasive brain stimulation may be effective for relieving central pain.Objective: To perform a topical review of the literature on brain neurostimulation techniques in patients with chronic neuropathic pain due to traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) and to assess the current evidence for their therapeutic efficacy. Methods: A MEDLINE search was performed using following terms: "Spinal cord injury", "Neuropathic pain", "Brain stimulation", "Deep brain stimulation" (DBS), "Motor cortex stimulation" (MCS), "Transcranial magnetic stimulation" (TMS), "Transcranial direct current stimulation" (tDCS), "Cranial electrotherapy stimulation" (CES). Results: Invasive neurostimulation therapies, in particular DBS and epidural MCS, have shown promise as treatments for neuropathic and phantom limb pain. However, the long-term efficacy of DBS is low, while MCS has a relatively higher potential with lesser complications that DBS. Among the non-invasive techniques, there is accumulating evidence that repetitive TMS can produce analgesic effects in healthy subjects undergoing laboratory-induced pain and in chronic pain conditions of various etiologies, at least partially and transiently. Another very safe technique of non-invasive brain stimulation -tDCS -applied over the sensorymotor cortex has been reported to decrease pain sensation and increase pain threshold in healthy subjects. CES has also proved to be effective in managing some types of pain, including neuropathic pain in subjects with SCI. Conclusion: A number of studies have begun to use non-invasive neuromodulatory techniques therapeutically to relieve neuropathic pain and phantom phenomena in patients with SCI. However, further studies are warranted to corroborate the early findings and confirm different targets and stimulation paradigms. The utility of these protocols in combination with pharmacological approaches should also be explored.

“…Опубликовано несколько систематических обзоров и метаанализов [75,[90][91][92][93][94], посвященных исследованию эффектов рТМС при хронических болях. В них подтверж-дается неэффективность низкочастотной рТМС и эффек-тивность высокочастотной (уменьшение боли более чем на 30% у 46-62% пациентов и более чем на 50% у 29% па-циентов), отмечается возможность получения умеренного долговременного эффекта при использовании серии се-ансов рТМС.…”

“…In theory it reverses intra-cortical motor dysfunction, altering sensory-discriminative function, leading to restoration of descending inhibition, and also improvement of cognitive function. [56,57] However, some investigators argue that the analgesic effects are independent of descending inhibitory control and are influenced by other elements of the neuromatrix. [58] Percutaneous Electroneural Stimulation (PENS) Direct access to peripheral branches of multiple cranial and cervical nerves is available via percutaneous placement of electrodes on the human auricle.…”

Chronic clinical pain associated with CS, is a potentially progressive, devastating, multimodal disease with a significant worldwide economic and social burden. Effective intervention is dependent upon recognizing the fundamental differences in acute and chronic pain, the effects on and by the neuromatrix upon the biopsychosocial health of the individual patient, and integrating that knowledge into a comprehensive multidisciplinary therapeutic plan.
