Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Studies have shown that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive form of brain stimulation, can reduce pain in the laboratory and in the clinic. The purpose of this study is to investigate how TMS relieves pain and affects pain circuitry in the brain. One of the primary study hypotheses is that opioid blockade will significantly reduce the pain relief produced by left prefrontal cortex TMS.
