What is 841 REPETITIVE TRANSCRANIAL MAGNETIC STIMULATION AND PAIN RELIEF: THETA BURST STIMULATION about?
Background: Several studies have shown that acupuncture point stimulation is an effective treatment for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy, the postoperative period, cancer and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. The acupuncture point P6 can be activated by acupuncture, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) and other methods. A recent review has questioned the effect of non-invasive electrostimualtion when state-of-the-art pharmacologic antiemetic therapy is provided. Method: A case report of a patient resistant to pharmacologic treatment of nausea and vomiting is presented. Results: The case of a 79-year old female patient who had breast cancer on the right side with metastases to the spine and head is presented. Her major complaint was nausea and vomiting that could not be treated by state-of-the-art pharmacological antiemetic therapy. On admission to our palliative care unit she scored 9/10 for nausea on the ESAS-scale. After starting cyclizine 50 mg 3 times daily and additional TENSstimulation of the acupuncture point P6 with 2 Hertz for 30 minutes twice a day the nausea vanished (0/10). On one occasion the patient failed to place the electrode correctly over t
