Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Safety Considerations and Recommendations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ensuring patient and participant safety during transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is of paramount importance. In this chapter, we begin by exploring a number of general safety concerns and the prevalence of reported side-effects in the TMS literature. Next, we outline contraindications and the recommended safety parameters for each of the major stimulation paradigms (including single and repetitive pulse patterns). Finally, we offer several practical tips to ensure TMS is delivered in the safest and most ethical manner.
