Efficacy and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with different frequencies on neuropathic orofacial pain: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive technique used to treat neuropathic orofacial pain (NOP). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rTMS in managing NOP and reducing health risks. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in various databases, including PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase and Clinical Trials.gov. Thirteen relevant articles were identified and assessed using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and the Cochrane Risk of Bias assessment tool. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system was utilized to evaluate the evidence rating for the studies. The analysis of the th
