      Background: This study aimed to answer three questions related to chronic myofascial pain syndrome (MPS): 1) Is the motor cortex excitability, as assessed by transcranial magnetic stimulation parameters (TMS), related to ...
    • Corticospinal excitability as a biomarker of myofascial pain syndrome 

      Thibaut, Aurore; Zeng, Dian; Caumo, Wolnei; Jianhua, Liu; Fregni, Felipe (2017) [Artigo de periódico]
      Introduction: Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common chronic pain disorder that lacks effective diagnostic criteria. To better understand neurophysiological changes in chronic pain, several trials exploring corticospinal ...
