About
Jean Pascal Lefaucheur is a leading figure in clinical neurophysiology, whose research has fundamentally shaped the safe and effective use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). His primary contributions lie in establishing evidence-based protocols for TMS in both healthy subjects and patient populations, with a particular focus on pain management and motor cortex stimulation. Lefaucheur’s landmark work includes co-authoring the 2020 expert guidelines on TMS safety and recommendations, a consensus document promoted by the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN) that has garnered over 1,470 citations. This pivotal paper, born from the 2018 Siena conference, updated decade-old safety protocols and remains the gold standard for practitioners worldwide. Beyond safety, he has pioneered the use of repetitive TMS for treating chronic neuropathic pain, demonstrating its efficacy through rigorous clinical trials. With a career spanning hundreds of publications and tens of thousands of citations, Lefaucheur’s research has not only advanced neuromodulation techniques but also bridged the gap between laboratory findings and clinical practice, making him an indispensable authority for students and researchers exploring non-invasive brain stimulation.
