Up to half of patients do not achieve a clinically significant reduction in pain intensity when using anticonvulsants and antidepressants. Neuromodulation technologies are an alternative to pharmacotherapy. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation method based on the excitation of neurons in the stimulated area induced by a high-induction alternating magnetic field. The effects of rTMS are mediated through synaptic plasticity-like mechanisms, as well as changes in the secretion of endogenous opioids and dopamine.</p> <p><strong>OBSERVATIONS.</strong> The most studied and effective rTMS target is the primary motor cortex contralateral to the localization of pain. Among the other studied targets, a significant effect has been shown only for the stimulation of secondary somatosensory cortex. An effect has been demonstrated for high-frequency protocols, while low-frequency rTMS is not effective. The duration of the effect of one session can reach 3 hours, and a series of sessions up to several weeks. The use of maintenance sessions allows extending the effect up to 1 year. Clinical characteristics of the pain syndrome, parameters of intracortical interactions, and preservation of thalamocortical pathways can be used as predictors of rTMS efficacy.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION. </strong>Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is a promising and safe method that has an extensive evidence base of effectiveness in CPSP.</p>central post-stroke paintranscranial magnetic stimulationnon-invasive brain stimulationneuropathic painцентральный постинсультный болевой синдромтранскраниальная магнитная стимуляциянеинвазивная стимуляция мозганейропатическая боль1.Liampas A., Velidakis N., Georgiou T., Vadalouca A., Varrassi G., Hadjigeorgiou G., Tsivgoulis G., Zis P.
