A B S T R A C TThe applications of neurophysiological therapy techniques range far and few in the realm of modern day medicine. However, the concept of electromagnetic stimulation, the basis for many noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques today, has been of interest to the scientific community since the late nineteenth century. Recently, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) a...

Introduction: In this study, the combined effects of low frequency stimulation (LFS) and carbamazepine (CBZ) were investigated on the motor behavior and balance indices of adult male rats during dorsal hippocampal epilepsy by electrical kindling method. Method: In this experimental study, 56 adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 8 groups. Kindling stimulations were performed rapidl...

Prevention of postoperative neurological deficits is a major concern of spinal surgeons and has led to the introduction and current development of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. We have used motor evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potentials as routine monitoring techniques and, in some cases, added optional methods such as direct stimulation of nerve roots and spinal ev...

background and aim: tinnitus is a distressing symptom for which few treatments exist. low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) of the temporal cortex has been proposed as a treatment for chronic tinnitus. this study determined relationship between psychoacoustic parameters such as loudness and frequency of tinnitus and outcome with rtms treatment. methods: twenty six pa...

Deafferentation pain following nerve injury annoys patients, and its management is a challenge in clinical practice. Although the mechanisms underlying deafferentation pain remain poorly understood, progress in the development of multidimensional neuroimaging techniques is casting some light on these issues. Deafferentation pain likely results from reorganization of the nervous system after ner...

Objectives: Movement is a continuous aspect of life and an important factor to achieve the goals and meet the needs. Regarding the importance of infantś motor assessment and the large number of children with motor disorders, a valid and reliable test is required to help evaluation of motor development and provide appropriate interventions by therapists and educators. This study was implemented ...

Purpose Early motor abilities (gesture, oral motor, and gross/fine skills) are related to language abilities, this is not due an association with cognitive or symbolic abilities: Oral skills uniquely associated at 21 months of age. It important determine whether motor–language relationship continues beyond the earliest stage development understand acquisition better predict which children may h...

Introduction: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a useful tool for assessment of corticospinal excitability (CSE) changes in both healthy individuals and patients with brain disorders. The usefulness of TMS-elicited motor evoked potentials (MEPs) for the assessment of CSE in a clinical context depends on their intra-and inter-session reliability. This study aimed to evaluate if removal ...

background: non motor symptoms (nms) of idiopathic parkinson’s disease (pd) are a major cause of disability and recognition of these symptoms and treatment is important for comprehensive health care. deep   brain   stimulation   of   bilateral   subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (stn dbs) has been shown to improve motor symptoms in pd and effects on nms are unknown. to investigate the ...
