 Welcome to ANT Neuro Educational Webinar Series! Repetitive transcranial m
 agnetic stimulation (rTMS) first developed as a means of predicting the ef
 ficacy of neurosurgical procedures of cortical stimulation\, then rapidly 
 as an analgesic method on its own right. Reasonable evidence from at least
  6 well-conducted controlled studies indicates a significant short-term an
 algesic effect of high-frequency rTMS of the motor cortex in neuropathic p
 ain\, and less consistently in widespread/fibromyalgic pain. Stimulation o
 f the dorsolateral frontal cortex (DLPFC) has not proven efficacious for p
 ain\, so far. The operculo-insular cortex is a new and attractive target b
 ut evidence remains insufficient. rTMS exerts its effects through multiple
  parallel and distributed brain networks influencing simultaneously the se
 nsory\, affective and cognitive aspects of chronic pain. Its effects devel
 op predominantly upon abnormally sensitised pathways\, rather than on acut
 e experimental pain. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an 
 alternative procedure aimed at similar targets as rTMS\, with the possibil
 ity of home-based protocols. However\, the limited quality of most publish
 ed tDCS reports makes the level of evidence still very low. Although the s
 hort-term efficacy of rTMS in neuropathic pain can be achieved with NNT ~2
 -3\, extending the duration of beneficial effects during months of years²
  remains its most significant challenge\, for which different strategies a
 re being currently proposed\, and will be discussed. This will be presente
