| Research Abstract |
In this research project, we tried to clarify whether rTMS can modulate the neuropathic pain in the mouse neuropathic pain model. As a result, we found that low-frequency rTMS reduces the excitability of frontal cingulate gyrus of mouse and decreases the neuropathic pain. Our results suggest rTMS has the potency to treat the neuropathic pain.
