Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is non-invasive neuromodulation method. We applied rTMS for the treatment of farmacoresistant chronic orofacial pain. We compared the effect of 10 Hz and 20 Hz stimulation. The study included 23 patients for 20 Hz stimulation and 36 patients for 10 Hz stimulation with pharmacotherapy resistant chronic facial pain aged 33-65 years with pain duration of at least 6 months. Monitoring of treatment effects was performed within 15 minutes of each rTMS application (days 1-5) and finally stimulation (active vs. sham coil). If compared with data with 10 Hz rTMS study (n=36) and with 20 Hz rTMS (n=23) trials using a parallel design. Only the results obtained in a series of five rTMS treatments in the first step (active n=24, sham n=12), that 20 Hz frequency rTMS using a higher intensity (95 % of motor threshold) to be equally effective relative to VAS (Visual analogue scale) and QST (quantitative sensory testing). In conclusions, the better results with the relief of orofacial pain were obtained with 20 Hz stimulation if compared with 10 Hz stimulation. It was proved with subjective (VAS) and objective evaluation (QST). rTMS can be used in the treatment of chronic intractable pain.

D005157 Facial Pain Pain in the facial region including orofacial pain and craniofacial pain. Associated conditions include local inflammatory and neoplastic disorders and neuralgic syndromes involving the trigeminal, facial, and glossopharyngeal nerves. Conditions which feature recurrent or persistent facial pain as the primary manifestation of disease are referred to as FACIAL PAIN SYNDROMES.

D050781 Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation A technique that involves the use of electrical coils on the head to generate a brief magnetic field which reaches the CEREBRAL CORTEX. It is coupled with ELECTROMYOGRAPHY response detection to assess cortical excitability by the threshold required to induce MOTOR EVOKED POTENTIALS. This method is also used for BRAIN MAPPING, to study NEUROPHYSIOLOGY, and as a substitute for ELECTROCONVULSIVE THERAPY for treating DEPRESSION. Induction of SEIZURES limits its clinical usage.
