Randomized, sham-controlled study investigates effects of rNMS on upper trapezius muscles, suggesting involvement of trigemino-cervical complex.
Background/Purpose: Repetitive neuromuscular magnetic stimulation (rNMS) targeting the upper trapezius muscles (UTM) has shown promising results as a noninvasive, nonpharmacological therapy for episodic migraine. Effects are hypothesized to involve modulation of the trigemino-cervical complex. Nevertheless, its underlying mechanisms, both at the neuromuscular and central levels, are not yet fully understood. The aim of this randomized, sham-controlled, multiparametric diagnostic study was to elucidate the physiological pathways of rNMS in healthy controls.
