Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation use in neuropathic pain with comorbid depression: a review of efficient treatment protocols’ parameters by D. S. Astafyeva, Ya. V. Vlasov, A. I. Strelnik, O. V. Chigareva, E. A. Markina, T. I. Shishkovskaya, D. A. Smirnova, A. Ya. Gayduk

“…Across the data analysis we evaluated such rTMS parameters as the type of a coil, type of stimulation area, locus of gained evoked motor potential, amplitude of stimulation, duration of session, frequency/number of sessions per day/month, tie duration between sessions, number and frequency of trains, amount and frequency of pulses containing and efficacy of treatment. Those studies that performed repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation using the figure‑of‑8 coil over the M1 brain area, for 10 or more daily sessions with duration from 7 up to 40 minutes, of 10–20 Hz frequency, intensity 80–90 % of resting motor threshold and total pulses number over 1500 per session demonstrated the greater efficacy in pain level decrease and depression scores reduction among neuropathic pain patients with comorbid depression. …”
