introduction: measuring the size of motor evoked potentials (meps) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms) is an investigational technique to show the level of corticospinal excitability however, some of the fundamental methodological aspects of tms (such as the effects of inter-pulse intervals (ipi) on mep size) are not fully understood, this issue raises concerns about the reliabil...

introduction: in this study we compared transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms) elicited motor evoked potentials (meps) in a postural (bilateral low back extension: blbe) and a respiratory (forced expiration during breath holding: febh) task.methods: using tms of the left motor cortex, simultaneous patterns of corticospinal facilitation of the contralateral erector spinae (es) and rectus abdomi...

conclusions these open-label data show trends toward normalization of eeg and concomitant clinical improvement using magnetic stimulation for ptsd. results of the 21 patients who initiated therapy, 16 completed treatment. clinical improvements on the pcl-m were seen in these 16 patients, with an average pre-treatment score of 54.9 and post-treatment score of 31.8 (p < 0.001). in addition, relat...

OBJECTIVE The interhemispheric competition model proposes that the functional recovery of motor deficits in patients after stroke can be achieved by increasing the excitability of the affected hemisphere or decreasing the excitability of the unaffected hemisphere. We investigated whether bilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation might improve the paretic hand in patients after stro...
