Corticospinal Excitability in Bilateral M1 Hand Areas: Association with Neuropathic Pain After Spinal Cord Injury
Hemispheric CSE asymmetry shows potential as a biomarker for assessing SCI-NP severity and emotional disturbances in SCI patients. High-frequency rTMS targeting bilateral M1 hand areas may provide improved analgesic effects. This finding could enhance neuropathic pain assessment and guide rTMS optimization, potentially improving the quality of life for individuals with SCI.
