Accelerated intermittent theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for chronic knee osteoarthritis pain
Objective
This study assessed feasibility, safety, and tolerability of accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS) with effective connectivity-guidance targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (lDLPFC) from the right anterior insular (rAI) in chronic knee osteoarthritis pain.
Methods
The BoostCPM clinical trial (ISRCTN15404076) was a randomized, sham-controlled, single-blind, parallel-group pilot study in patients with mild-moderate chronic pain. Participants were assigned 2:1 (active: sham) aiTBS for 4 consecutive days (totaling 36,000 pulses) at a daily dose of 9000 pulses (5 sessions of 1800 pulses). Primary outcomes included safety, tolerability, pain-related and affective outcomes, and quantitative sensory testing.
Results
45 participants received active (n = 33) or sham (n = 12) aiTBS. No serious adverse events were recorded, and protocol adherence (tolerability) was 80.6 % and 100 % for active and sham. Follow-up response rate was 78.1 % and overall acceptance/satisfaction was 89 %. Pain relief was observed immediately after treatment and lasted 16 weeks with clinically meaningful reduction of pain burden, but no differences between groups.
Conclusions
aiTBS with rAI-connected lDLPFC targeting is a safe, well tolerated, feasible, and acceptable intervention in chronic pain patients. However, we found no additional improvements compared to sham. Significance:Further studies of aiTBS and lDLPFC targeting for pain relief are warranted.
期刊介绍:
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
