Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on pain and quality of life in patients with cancer neuropathic pain. Although there are currently different therapeutic options for neuropathic pain, most are limited or restricted to pharmacotherapy. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a tool recently incorporated into neuroscience in the management of neuropathic cancer pain. The study will include 10 patients with oncologic neuropathic pain who will receive 20 sessions of rTMS and the effect on pain and quality of life.


Clinical Trial Description

Neuropathic pain is defined as pain caused by a primary lesion or transient dysfunction of the central or peripheral nervous system. In cancer, it is generated as a consequence of multiple factors such as: direct compression of nerve structures, post-surgical nerve injuries, and nerve injuries secondary to chemotherapy. At least 3.5 million people around the world suffer from this symptom associated with cancer; Of this population, 38% experience pain in all stages and 80% in advanced stages, negatively impacting quality of life. ;
