This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a treatment called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help people who have both chronic nerve pain and depression. The study compares two different areas of the brain that can be stimulated—one involved in movement control and one involved in mood and thinking. Researchers want to understand which brain area responds better to this magnetic stimulation treatment.
Many people with chronic nerve pain also struggle with depression, and standard pain medications don't always work well enough. This study explores whether this non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation could offer relief for both conditions at once.

You will receive four sessions of magnetic brain stimulation to one area of your brain, then have a rest period, and then receive four sessions to a different brain area. Between these two phases, your pain, mood, and quality of life will be measured using questionnaires and pain scales. The entire study involves multiple visits over several weeks, and you'll need to keep your current pain and depression medications stable throughout.
