Repetitive Nerve Stimulation Test in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis with Predominant Oropharyngeal Manifestations
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients display easy fatigability and abnormal decrements on repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) test of clinically involved limb muscles, which can result in ALS being misdiagnosed as myasthenia gravis. We retrospectively analyzed the RNS tests of ten ALS patients with only or predominant oropharyngeal symptoms without ocular or facial...
متن کاملDouble cortical stimulation in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
OBJECTIVE Transcranial double magnetic stimulation on the motor cortex was used to investigate central motor tract function in 16 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, five with spinal muscular atrophy, and 16 age matched normal controls. METHODS Surface EMG responses were recorded from the relaxed abductor pollicis brevis (APB) muscle. RESULTS Responses to test stimuli were markedly...
متن کاملCortical excitability of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: transcranial magnetic stimulation study.
OBJECTIVE The primary purpose of this study was to provide insight into the central changes that occur in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with a view to understanding how these could contribute to symptoms. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventeen patients with definite ALS and 17 control healthy volunteers were included in the study. Clinical examination, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis severity sco...
متن کاملCorrelations between slow-rate repetitive nerve stimulation and characteristics associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Chinese patients
[Purpose] To clarify the features associated with decrements in compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) during slow-rate repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) of muscles involved in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in mainland China. [Subjects and Methods] A retrospective study of decremental responses to slow-rate RNS was performed to compare patients with ALS to those with myasthenia gravis ...
متن کاملRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or motor neuron disease.
BACKGROUND Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND), is a progressive neurodegenerative disease without effective therapies. Several studies have suggested that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may have positive benefit in ALS. However, the efficacy and safety of this therapy remain uncertain. OBJECTIVES We aimed to determine the clinica...
