Population: Mixed NP, mixed neuropathic pain patients; Mixed CP, mixed chronic pain patients; CRPS, complex regional pain syndrome; SCI, spinal cord injury; TMS, transcranial magnetic stimulation. Significant effects: + represents significant reduction in pain score following transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment. Numbers presented in the frequency, intensity, and number of pulses represent the higher values in case of more than one condition.
