Summary
The purpose of this research study is to investigate the effects of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on pain perception. TMS is a non - invasive technique that uses electromagnetic pulses to temporarily stimulate specific brain areas in awake people (without the need for surgery, anesthetic, or other invasive procedures)
