Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Daily and total mg of opiate pain medication and any other over the counter alternate pain medication.

    One year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Changes in Visual Analog Scales daily for mood and pain as well as an initial and final Beck Depression Inventory and Center for Epidemiological Studies 10-item Depression Scale

    One year

Study Arms (2)

Active Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

During TMS treatment, a coil, which creates a magnetic field, will be placed on the left prefrontal area of the head. Active TMS will stimulate for 4 seconds, pause for 26 seconds, and repeat this for approximately 40 minutes. There will be a total of 3000 pulses during treatment. We expect TMS to decrease pain and depression.

Device: Active Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Sham Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

SHAM COMPARATOR

During sham TMS, a coil will be placed on the left prefrontal area of the head. Sham TMS will simulate active treatment as described in active arm.

Device: Sham Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Interventions

TMS is a non-invasive treatment. During TMS treatment, a coil, which creates a magnetic field, will be placed on the left prefrontal area of the head. Active TMS will stimulate for 4 seconds, pause for 26 seconds, and repeat this for approximately 40 minutes. There will be a total of 3000 pulses during treatment. We expect TMS to decrease pain and depression. In order to find out if this is true, we will compare real TMS with sham (inactive) TMS.This will allow us to decide if active TMS is successful because of electrical stimulation, or because of the support, concern, and understanding of the research team.
