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 deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (deep rTMS), a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic coils to stimulate specific areas of the brain. Researchers believe this treatment may help reduce chronic pain in people with neuropathic pain (nerve damage pain) or fibromyalgia. The study will compare the real treatment against a sham (fake) treatment to see if the real version actually works.
Currently, many people with chronic neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia don't get enough relief from available medications, and some can't tolerate them. This trial is exploring whether brain stimulation could offer a new, non-drug option for managing these difficult-to-treat pain conditions.

You likely don't qualify if…
You would receive repeated sessions of deep brain stimulation using a magnetic coil placed against your scalp — the procedure is painless and non-invasive. Half the participants will receive the active treatment and half will receive sham treatment (a placebo), and neither you nor the doctors will know which you're getting until the study ends. The study lasts 13 weeks, and the main goal is to see how much your pain improves by week 13.
