Advancements in noninvasive brain stimulation: exploring repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the posterior superior insula for pain relief.
(en) Although the treatment of chronic pain relies heavily on pharmacological approaches, a significant number of patients remain symptomatic despite medication.6,7 In addition, the heavy reliance on opioids exacerbates morbidity and mortality. Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques are regarded as a promising nonpharmaceutical approach for treating chronic pain, potentially offering greater efficacy and fewer side effects compared with medication.[...]
