Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation, a Tool to Revert Maladaptive Plasticity in Neuropathic Pain

Neuromodulatory effects of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) have been extensively studied in chronic pain. A hypothetic mechanism of action would be to prevent or revert the ongoing maladaptive plasticity within the pain matrix. In this review, the authors discuss the mechanisms underlying the...
