Abstract：Objective To observe the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimunation (rTMS) on neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. Methods From June, 2014 to December, 2015, eight spinal cord injury patiens with neuropathic pain were treated with rTMS for five weeks. They were assessed with Numerical Rating Scale of pain and Self-Rating Scale of Sleep before and after treatment. Results After treatment, the score of Numerical Rating Scale decreased 4 to 6 points, namely from severe pain to mild to moderate pain. The score of Self-Rating Scale of Sleep decreased 9 to 20 points. Conclusion rTMS may relieve neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury, and can be combined with medcine.
