Description:

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is non-invasive neuromodulation method. We applied rTMS for the treatment of farmacoresistant chronic orofacial pain. We compared the effect of 10 Hz an d 20 Hz stimulation. The study included 23 patients for 20 Hz stimulation and 36 patients for 10 Hz stimulation with pharmacoth erapy resistant chronic facial pain aged 33-65 years with pain duration of at least 6 months. Monitoring of treatment effects was performed within 15 minutes of each rTMS application (days 1-5) and finally stimulation (active vs. sham coil). If compared with data with 10 Hz rTMS study (n=36) and with 20 Hz rTMS (n=23) trials using a parallel design. Only the results obtained in a series of five rTMS treatments in the first step (active n=24, sham n=12), that 20 Hz frequency rTMS using a higher intensity (95 % of motor threshold) to be equally effective relative to VAS (Visual analogue scale) and QST (quantitative sensory testing). In conclusions, the better results with the relief of orofacial pain were obtained with 20 Hz stimulation if compared with 10 Hz stimulation. It was proved with subjective (VAS) and object ive evaluation (QST). rTMS can be used in the treatment of chronic intractable pain., J. Fricová ...
