Abstract： Neuropathic pain is caused by a lesion or disease to the somatosensory nervous system,and its mechanism may be related to sensitization of injury receptors,abnormal ectopic excitability of afferent neurons,and vulnerability of the posterior horn of the spinal cord to injury perception.Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a noninvasive treatment for neuropathic pain and can effectively relieve pain.This article reviews and introduces the possible mechanisms,clinical application of different modalities,and safety of transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of neuropathic pain,aiming to provide reference and theoretical basis for further research on the treatment of neuropathic pain with transcranial magnetic stimulation.
