Abstract
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) – new method based on the neurons excitation by an alternating magnetic field. According literature high-frequency TMS could be effectiveness method in the treatment of drug-resistant central post-stroke pain (CPSP). The presented cases report describes the clinical observation of two patients with CPSP, with different localization and volume of the lesion. TMS was applied in the mode of high-frequency stimulation (10 Hz) to the primary motor cortex of the affected hemisphere. After stimulation, we record a significant reduction of pain on a visual analog scale (VAS). It is shown that after the end of TMS pain gradually returned to previous levels after 3-4 months.
