Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a longstanding FDA-approved treatment for chronic depression, but its efficacy with anxiety and related disorders not well-established. A growing literature suggests that improving of rTMS anxiety/ could depend on increasing the degree to which targeted paired behavioral challenges so specific disorder-relevant behaviors can be mod...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the primary motor cortex (M1) can modulate cortical excitability and is thought to influence activity in other brain areas. In this study, we investigated the anatomical and functional effects of rTMS of M1 and the time course of after-effects from a 1-Hz subthreshold rTMS to M1. Using an "offline" functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMR...

The clinical benefits of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for Parkinson's disease (PD) remain controversial. We performed a comprehensive study to examine whether rTMS is a safe and effective treatment for PD. Twelve PD patients received rTMS once a week. The crossover study design consisted of 4-week sham rTMS followed by 4-week real rTMS. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Rat...

Aim To explore the feasibility and possible effects of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) delivered to supplementary motor area (SMA) on tic severity system neurophysiology in children with Tourette syndrome. Method Ten syndrome (eight males, two females; 9–15y) participated this open-label, phase 1 clinical trial. Treatment consisted 1800 (1Hz) neuronavigated rob...

Abstract The aim of the present study was to compare analgesic effect motor cortex stimulation using high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic (rTMS) or direct current (tDCS), and transcutaneous spinal (tsDCS) in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). Thirty-three CRPS were randomized one three treatment groups (rTMS, n = 11; tDCS, 10; tsDCS, 12) received a series 12 session...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a promising technique that modulates neural networks. However, there were few studies evaluating the effects of rTMS in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Herein, we assessed the effectiveness of rTMS on behavioral recovery and metabolic changes using brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in a rat model of TBI. We also evaluated the safety...

One-hertz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (1Hz-rTMS) over ipsilateral motor cortex is able to modify up to 30 min the motor performance of repetitive finger opposition movements paced with a metronome at 2 Hz. We investigated whether the long-lasting rTMS effect on motor behavior can be modulated by subsequent engagement of the contralateral sensorimotor system. Motor task was perf...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex (rTMS) can be used to modify motor cortical excitability in human subjects. At stimulus intensities near to or above resting motor threshold, low-frequency rTMS (approximately 1 Hz) decreases motor cortical excitability, whereas high-frequency rTMS (5-20 Hz) can increase excitability. We investigated the effect of 10 min of interm...

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has gained interest over the past two decades. However, it yet to be recommended in major guidelines. We conducted systematic review of randomized controlled trials examine efficacy rTMS PTSD. Thirteen studies with 549 participants were included this review. compared effects (1) versus sh...
