The Analgesic Enhancing Effects of Coupling M1 and PMC rTMS on Neuropathic Pain After Spinal Cord Injury: An fNIRS Study

Pain Research and Management, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the left primary motor cortex (M1) shows promise for treating neuropathic pain (NP) after spinal cord injury (SCI), but its efficacy remains limited. This study investigated whether combining rTMS on M1 with premotor cortex (PMC) could improve pain relief in SCI patients with NP ...

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation‐Induced Modulation of Functional Connectivity in Healthy Controls: A TMS–EEG Graph Study

Brain and Behavior, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
TMS was associated with a modulation of functional network connectivity. TMS modulation effects seem to reflect a change into a small‐world organization. EEG‐based brain graphs contribute to understand TMS neurophysiological basis. ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) enables ...
