Magnetic stimulation using the StarFormer® device was employed for pain management in four patients with chronic pain, whose average monthly VAS pain levels prior to treatment ranged from 2 to 5. No adverse events were reported during treatment or in the one-month period after treatment. All patients experienced a reduction of their pain level during the course of treatment, and a lower average monthly pain at the one-month follow-up as compared to the average monthly pain before treatment. This is consistent with the results of clinical studies performed with equivalent devices for repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation, reflecting on the safety and effectiveness of this modality for pain management.

Key words: Magnetic stimulation, neuromodulation, pain management, chronic pain, back pain.
