Abstract
This article examines promising areas of therapeutic transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for the treatment of diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) — a common complication of diabetes mellitus, which significantly reduces the life quality of patients. Conservative therapy of this condition is not always effective; therefore, the article discusses alternative treatment methods, including TMS — a method in which magnetic induction is used to affect the brain structures. TMS use for the DPN treatment has shown certain positive results. The article discusses various aspects of the TMS use, including protocols, treatment duration, dosage and safety. A review of existing Russian and foreign studies with recommendations on the TMS use in clinical practice for the DPN treatment is being conducted. These studies demonstrate the potential of using TMS as an additional treatment method of DPN. However, there is a need in further clinical studies for a deeper understanding of the TMS efficacy and mechanisms of action in this disease. TMS use in the DPN treatment may represent a new direction in the field of therapeutic methods that contribute to improving the patient lives with diabetes mellitus.
