About this Research Topic
Therapeutic management of neuropathic pain is challenging in clinical practice. Emerging evidence has supported non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) technologies to manage chronic pain, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), etc. However, the clinical application of NIBS in chronic pain is limited by treatment response, which appears rather low to average.
This Research Topic aims to provide new insights into improving the effects of NIBS on chronic pain.
We invite authors to submit manuscripts focusing on, but not limited to, the following themes:
· Neural mechanisms underlie NIBS effects on pain, with evidence from either human or animal studies.
· Novel NIBS paradigms to modulate pain experiences.
· NIBS effects on a range of pain experiences, such as negative emotions, sensory impairment, cognitions, etc.
We welcome manuscripts in the form of original research articles, review articles, clinical trial articles, and method articles.
Authors should aim to highlight innovative approaches and significant impact in their contributions. Special value will be placed on clinical and preclinical studies that can translate to pain management.
