Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for CRPS

The purpose of this pilot study is to test the durability of response to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for the symptoms of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). The investigators will test various methods of TMS for varying lengths of time in a pilot study to investigate what the clinical impact.
