Modulation of non-painful phantom sensation in subjects with spinal cord injury by means of rTMS

Highlights • Inhibitory TBS over S1 induces a decrease of simple phantom sensations. • Inhibitory TBS over PPC induces a decrease of simple and complex phantom sensations. • Non-painful phantom sensations are associated to hyperexcitability of PPC > S1. • Neuromodulatory techniques are able to re...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Inhibitory TBS over S1 induces a decrease of simple phantom sensations. • Inhibitory TBS over PPC induces a decrease of simple and complex phantom sensations. • Non-painful phantom sensations are associated to hyperexcitability of PPC > S1. • Neuromodulatory techniques are able to reverse phantom sensations.
