A regimen of 10 sessions of real rTMS of the DLPFC was associated with significant pain relief in patients with PLP, and the effects were sustained for 2 months. Therefore, the present study shows that rTMS of the DLPFC has potential as an effective therapeutic intervention for sustained pain relief in PLP patients.
