Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy, safety and possible neuroimaging mechanism of deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of refractory migraine.Methods:Thirty patients with refractory migraine were selected from the Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from October 2022 to August 2023. The patients were randomly divided into dTMS group ( n=10), rTMS group ( n=10) and sham stimulation group ( n=10). The dTMS group was treated with H7 coil and the rTMS group with "8" coil, and the sham stimulation group was treated with sham stimulation rTMS with the frequency of 10 Hz. The stimulation site was the contralateral primary motor cortex (M1) of headache, which was treated for 2 weeks (3 600 pulses per time, 5 times per week, 10 times in total). Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) evaluations were performed before treatment, on the first day after treatment, and 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment. The resting-state functional magnetic resonance images of the 3 groups of patients before and after treatment were collected and analyzed by MATLAB2018b, SPM12 and RESTPLUS softwares, and the brain regions with different regional homogeneity (ReHo) before and after treatment were obtained. The general clinical data and scale scoring data were analyzed and processed by SPSS 26.0 version software. Results:There were significant differences in VAS scores among the dTMS group (before treatment 6.70±0.68, the first day after treatment 5.60±0.70, 1 month after treatment 5.00±0.82, 3 months after treatment 3.50±0.85, 6 months after treatment 3.90±1.45), the rTMS group (before treatment 6.90±0.74, the first day after treatment 5.90±0.74, 1 month after treatment 5.30±0.82, 3 months after treatment 5.30±0.82, 6 months after treatment 6.80±0.63) and the sham stimulation group (before treatment 6.60±0.97, the first day after treatment 6.70±0.95, 1 month after treatment 6.90±1.10, 3 months after treatment 6.70±0.68, 6 months after treatment 7.10±0.88; F=16.054, P<0.001), VAS scores among different time points ( F=34.292, P<0.001), and the interaction between groups and time ( F=24.136, P<0.001). Compared with those before treatment, VAS scores in the dTMS group and the rTMS group decreased on the first day after treatment, 1 month and 3 months after treatment (all P<0.05); VAS scores decreased in the dTMS group 6 months after treatment ( P<0.05). Compared with the sham stimulation group, the VAS scores of the dTMS group were lower at the same time points after treatment (all P<0.05), and the VAS scores of the rTMS group were lower on the first day after treatment, 1 month and 3 months after treatment (all P<0.05). Compared with the rTMS group, VAS scores were lower at 3 and 6 months after dTMS treatment (both P<0.05). There were significant differences in HIT-6 scores among groups ( F=13.173, P<0.001), HIT-6 scores among different time points ( F=60.788, P<0.001), and interaction between groups and time ( F=35.576, P<0.001). Compared with those before treatment, the HIT-6 scores in the dTMS group decreased on the first day after treatment ( P<0.05); the HIT-6 scores in the dTMS group and the rTMS group decreased 1 month and 3 months after treatment (both P<0.05); the HIT-6 scores decreased in the dTMS group 6 months after treatment ( P<0.05). Compared with the sham stimulation group, the HIT-6 scores were lower in the dTMS group at the same time points after treatment (all P<0.05), and the HIT-6 scores were lower in the rTMS group at 1 and 3 months after treatment (both P<0.05). Compared with the rTMS group, HIT-6 scores were lower at 3 and 6 months after dTMS treatment (both P<0.05). Analysis of ReHo results: compared with those before treatment, the ReHo values of the right cerebellar angle area 1 increased in the dTMS group and the sham stimulation group, decreased in the rTMS group. The ReHo values of the right middle occipital gyrus, left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus and right cerebellar area 8 increased in the dTMS group, but decreased in the rTMS group and the sham stimulation group. The ReHo values of the left precentral gyrus and left superior temporal gyrus decreased in the dTMS group, while those in the rTMS group and the sham stimulation group increased. There were no obvious adverse reactions in the 3 groups during the treatment and follow-up period. Conclusions:dTMS and rTMS may help to improve the headache degree and quality of life of patients with refractory migraine, and they are safe, which may be related to the changes of brain network in the right cerebellar angle area 1, right middle occipital gyrus, left dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus, left precentral gyrus, left superior temporal gyrus and right cerebellar area 8.

Objective:To compare the differences of brain activation in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and multiple sclerosis (MS) under contact heat stimulation (CHS), and to explore the characteristics of pain-related brain networks in NMOSD and MS patients.Methods:Fourteen NMOSD patients (NMOSD group) and 12 MS patients (MS group) admitted to Affiliated Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from September 2022 to December 2022 who met the diagnostic criteria were collected. Twelve healthy individuals (HC group) matched with gender and age were recruited during the same period. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate the pain of the subjects, CHS painful stimuli were given, and task-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans were performed at the same time, and the differences in brain activation among the 3 groups were analyzed and compared.Results:(1) Compared with the HC group, the NMOSD group had a stronger activation degree than the HC group in the brain regions including the cortex around the left distance fissure, bilateral medial superior frontal gyrus; the activation degree of the NMOSD group was weaker than that of the HC group in the brain areas including the left medial and paracingulate gyrus, right superior parietal gyrus, left postcentral gyrus, and right supplementary motor area (all P<0.05). (2) Compared with the HC group, the brain regions whose activation degree was weaker in the MS group included the left caudate nucleus, left medial and paracingulate gyrus, left paracentral lobule, right superior parietal gyrus, left postcentral gyrus, left precuneus, right supplementary motor area, right superior temporal gyrus and right thalamus, and there was no brain area in the MS group whose activation degree was stronger than that of the HC group (all P<0.05). (3) Compared with the MS group, the brain regions with stronger activation degree in the NMOSD group included the left perifissure cortex and right thalamus, but no brain regions with weaker activation degree were found in the NMOSD group (all P<0.05). (4) There was a correlation between somatic pain VAS scores and activation of the medial superior frontal gyrus in the NMOSD group ( r=0.66, P<0.05). Conclusions:The results of CHS-fMRI in the NMOSD group, MS group and HC group showed that multiple brain regions were activated, indicating that multiple brain regions were involved in the generation and processing of pain, and there was a pain-related brain network. Pain-related brain networks were altered in NMOSD patients and MS patients, and there were differences in pain-related brain networks between the two diseases.
