Vasculitic neuropathy (VN) results from inflammation and destruction of the walls of predominantly small vessels with subsequent ischemic damage of peripheral nerves. VN is painful in vast majority of patients and the pain is intractable with pharmacotherapy in about 40% of cases. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive method of modulation of brain plasticity and is regarded as one of alternative methods to alleviate pain associated with various kind of neuropathies. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of analgesic effect of rTMS in vasculitic neuropathy with sham stimulation.
