Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) of the Motor Cortex has the Potential to be used as a Supplementary Therapy for the Relief of Cancer Pain in Patients who are Nearing the End of their Lives

Individuals who have advanced stage cancer often experience discomfort that is challenging to alleviate. Administering high doses of pain medication may not be sufficient to alleviate their pain or may result in undesirable side effects, such as drowsiness. In this study, we present the first case where a patient's pelvic discomfort was significantly reduced by a series of five sessions of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the motor cortex. This led to an improvement in the quality of death for the patient and allowed for a reduction in medical care required.
