In this randomized, double-blind, controlled trial of 8 weeks of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for chronic pain, we compared the classic primary motor cortex (M1) rTMS with a novel target-selection strategy based on pre-therapy cortical connectivity. Guided by principles of homeostatic plasticity, we tested whether stimulating the cortical site with the lowest pre-therapy global connectivity would be more effective than two active comparators: stimulating the site with the ...
