The study will employ Thompson Sampling, a Bayesian reinforcement learning algorithm, to optimize stimulation site selection based on individual response patterns. This approach has the potential to revolutionize pain management by improving treatment accessibility through shortened timelines, addressing individual variations in pain networks through precision targeting, and potentially achieving more robust pain relief through accelerated neuroplasticity.\n\nThe specific aims of the study are:\n\n1. To establish the relationship between SCAN and AMN connectivity and cognitive- affective pain symptoms.\n2. To evaluate the efficacy of Thompson Sampling-optimized aiTBS across SCAN and AMN on affective and sensorimotor pain dimensions.\n3.

You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have had chronic pain for at least 12 months, and your pain hasn't improved with at least two different pain medications. The main way they will measure success is by looking at changes in your pain intensity after 3 months.","The primary endpoint measures change in pain intensity at 3 months, suggesting follow-up for at least this duration.",124,"Not specified in the trial record.","Not stated in the trial record.",[29],"v2"]
