Peak alpha frequency is not significantly altered by five days of experimental pain and repetitive transcranial stimulation of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

This study investigates whether rTMS affects peak alpha frequency (PAF) and pain in response to NGF-induced muscle pain, finding no significant change in PAF but suggesting PAF proximity to rTMS frequency may influence pain relief.

POSTERIOR-SUPERIOR INSULA REPETITIVE TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION REDUCES EXPERIMENTAL TONIC PAIN AND PAIN-RELATED CORTICAL INHIBITION IN HUMANS

This study shows that PSI-rTMS reduces tonic pain and pain-related cortical inhibition in humans, with changes in TEP N45 peak levels mediating the analgesic effect.

The effect of prolonged elbow pain and rTMS on cortical inhibition: A TMS-EEG study

This study examines how prolonged elbow pain and rTMS affect cortical inhibition using TMS-EEG, finding that pain severity correlates with increased N45 peak and rTMS reduces it.

A 5-day course of rTMS before pain onset ameliorates future pain and increases sensorimotor peak alpha frequency

This study shows that 5 days of rTMS before pain onset reduces future pain intensity and functional impairment, without mediation by corticomotor excitability or sensorimotor peak alpha frequency.

Effects of nicotine compared to placebo gum on sensitivity to pain and mediating effects of peak alpha frequency

This study examines how nicotine affects pain sensitivity and whether changes in peak alpha frequency mediate these effects, finding small pain reductions with nicotine but no mediation by PAF changes.

Alterations in cortical excitability during pain: A combined TMS-EEG Study

This study uses combined TMS-EEG to show that experimental pain increases the amplitude of the N45 TEP peak, suggesting a role for GABAergic neurotransmission in pain perception.

Intramuscular injection of nerve growth factor as a model of temporomandibular disorder: nature, time-course, and sex differences characterising the pain experience

This study characterizes pain, functional impairment, and hyperalgesia from NGF injections in a TMD model, revealing sex differences in pain experience.

The influence of somatosensory and auditory evoked potentials on concurrent transcranial-magnetic stimulation electroencephalography recordings

This study investigates how somatosensory and auditory evoked potentials affect TMS-EEG recordings and finds that sensory contamination in TEPs is non-linear and significant beyond 70ms post-stimulation.
