Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to test the durability of response to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for the symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). The investigators will test various methods of TMS for varying lengths of time in a pilot study to investigate what the clinical impact.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Present Pain Intensity

Time Frame: Baseline, post-treatment, one week follow-up

Present pain intensity was reported by participants using a visual analog scale (VAS) from scores ranging from 1-10; lower scores represent less pain, higher scores represent more severe pain.

Secondary Outcomes

No secondary outcomes reported
