Description
Yixing Lu and co-authors test magnetic brain stimulation in a 2026 trial on pain after spinal cord injury. Nerve pain after such injury is hard to ease, and standard treatments often fall short. Low mood often comes with the pain, adding to the burden on patients.
Twenty nine patients were assigned at random, three to one, to real or sham stimulation. The real treatment pulsed the left motor area of the brain each day for two weeks. Pain scores were tracked, along with mood and a brain measure of inner braking signals. Pain and mood both eased in the treated group, and the brain measure moved with the gain.
