Summary
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) effectively reduced severe neuropathic pain and improved function in a patient with traumatic lumbosacral plexopathy. This non-invasive technique shows promise for managing complex pain conditions.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Pain Medicine
- Neurosurgery
Background:
- Lumbosacral plexopathy (LSP) causes severe neuropathic pain and functional impairment.
- Traumatic LSP is difficult to treat with standard pharmacologic therapies.
- Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a neuromodulation technique explored for neuropathic pain.
