This trial is enrolling individuals with chronic spinal cord injuries to test the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on pain. rTMS is a non-invasive technique which uses a high-frequency magnetic field to stimulate specific areas of the brain. A coil (held over the head) delivers magnetic stimulation to activate the central nervous system. If included, participants will receive either 1) active rTMS or 2) sham rTMS daily for 15 sessions. Final pain testing will be performed after 6 weeks.
