Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test whether non-invasive brain stimulation, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) may alleviate pain associated with various chronic pain conditions. We will test various methods of TMS to identify a treatment approach that may reduce the symptoms of chronic pain for the patient.
