What a pain

In the brain, the thalamus regulates pain, but is difficult to access. To treat persistent pain such as fibromyalgia, a non-invasive method is being studied: the use of a magnetic field on a targeted area by a preparatory MRI. This method could also be applied to sciatic nerve pain. An episode of the series "The black box".
