Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Direct Current Stimulation in Idiopathic Restless Legs Patients
A.C. Heide,Tobias Winkler,H.J. Helms,Michael A. Nitsche,Claudia Trenkwalder,Walter Paulus,Cornelius G. Bachmann +6 more
TL;DR: The first tsDCS study in idiopathic RLS resulted in short-lasting clinical improvement and support the pathophysiological concept of spinal cord hyperexcitability in primary RLS and provide the basis for a new non-pharmacological treatment tool.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct myocardial effects of beta-blocker therapy in heart failure with normal and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction
Nazha Hamdani,Walter Paulus,Loek van Heerebeek,Attila Borbély,Nicky M. Boontje,Marian J. Zuidwijk,Jean G.F. Bronzwaer,Warner S. Simonides,Hans W.M. Niessen,Ger J.M. Stienen,Jolanda van der Velden +10 more
TL;DR: Myocardial effects unique to either HFNEF or HFREF could contribute to the dissimilar outcome of beta-blocker therapy in both HF phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Opposite optimal current flow directions for induction of neuroplasticity and excitation threshold in the human motor cortex.
Martin Sommer,Christoph Norden,Lars Schmack,Holger Rothkegel,Holger Rothkegel,Nicolas Lang,Nicolas Lang,Walter Paulus +7 more
TL;DR: The anisotropy of the human primary motor cortex is relevant for induction of plasticity by subtreshold rTMS, with a current flow opposite to that providing lowest excitability thresholds, consistent with the idea of TMS primarily targeting cortical columns of the phylogenetically new M1 in the anterior bank of the central sulcus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transcranial direct current stimulation effects on I-wave activity in humans
Nicolas Lang,Michael A. Nitsche,Michele Dileone,Paolo Mazzone,Javier De Andrés-Arés,Luis Diaz-Jara,Walter Paulus,Vincenzo Di Lazzaro,Antonio Oliviero +8 more
TL;DR: Recordings of corticospinal volleys evoked by single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation of the primary motor cortex before and after a 5-min period of anodal or cathodal tDCS deliver additional evidence that tDCS changes the excitability of cortical neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical and electrophysiological impact of repetitive low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation on the sensory-motor network in patients with restless legs syndrome.
Giuseppe Lanza,Mariagiovanna Cantone,Debora Aricò,Bartolo Lanuzza,Filomena I.I. Cosentino,Domenico Paci,Maurizio Papotto,Manuela Pennisi,Rita Bella,Giovanni Pennisi,Walter Paulus,Raffaele Ferri +11 more
TL;DR: Based on the hyperexcitability and disinhibition observed in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) following transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), this article conducted a study with low-f
