How Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is performed
rTMS generates short-term magnetic pulses through a coil, non-invasively acting on the cerebral cortex (often located in pain regulation-related areas) to modulate neural network excitability and pain transmission. Treatment is usually performed multiple times according to established parameters, with professionals monitoring discomfort and recording responses each time. The goal of the treatment course is to reduce pain perception and improve function. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
