Effects of High-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation on Motor Functions in Patients with Subcortical Stroke
Background: Motor function impairment occurs in approximately two-thirds of patients with subcortical stroke. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive technique for modulating cortical excitability. Objectives: The present study was designed for assessing the efficacy of high-frequency rTMS (5 Hz) on ipsilesional primary motor cortex in patients with subcortical stro...
متن کاملTranscranial magnetic stimulation: role in the evaluation of disability in multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND In patients with multiple sclerosis (MS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has shown significant prolongation of central motor conduction time (CMCT). Abnormal CMCT may reflect sub-clinical involvement of motor pathways and correlate with clinical motor disability. OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic yield of TMS in MS and the possible correlation of TMS abnormalities with...

متن کاملRepetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, Cognition, and Multiple Sclerosis: An Overview
Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects cognition in the majority of patients. A major aspect of the disease is brain volume loss (BVL), present in all phases and types (relapsing and progressive) of the disease and linked to both motor and cognitive disabilities. Due to the lack of effective pharmacological treatments for cognition, cognitive rehabilitation and other nonpharmacological interventions s...
متن کاملCyclical excitability of the motor cortex in patients with catamenial epilepsy: A transcranial magnetic stimulation study
PURPOSE The pathophysiology of catamenial epilepsy is still unclear. Therefore, we investigated the cortical excitability of women with catamenial epilepsy during different phases of the menstrual cycle. METHODS Using transcranial magnetic stimulation, six patients suffering from catamenial epilepsy were investigated during ovulatory cycles. On days 8, -14, -7 and 2 of the cycle (day 1 being ...
