Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy: a pilot study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Progressive supranuclear palsy is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder for which no specific treatment is known at present. In this report we treated a small group of clinically diagnosed patients with rapid-rate repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex for five days. This resulted in modest and transient improvements, especially of the axial symptomatology. Side-effects were not reported.

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...

Introduction & Objective: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an electro physiologic brain stimulation and integration technique that can change the cortical excitability of the target area in the brain and modulate the nervous and muscular ductility. Addiction is associated with dysfunction of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and altered cerebral oscillations. Acco...

Introduction: Balance impairment is a common problem and a major cause of motor disability after stroke. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate whether low-frequency repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) improves the postural balance problems in stroke patients. Methods: This randomized double blind clinical trial with 12 weeks follow-up was conducted on stroke patients. Trea...
