Safety, ethical considerations, and application guidelines for the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation in clinical practice and research

TL;DR: The present updated guidelines review issues of risk and safety of conventional TMS protocols, address the undesired effects and risks of emerging TMS interventions, the applications of TMS in patients with implanted electrodes in the central nervous system, and safety aspects of T MS in neuroimaging environments.

Non-invasive electrical and magnetic stimulation of the brain, spinal cord, roots and peripheral nerves: Basic principles and procedures for routine clinical and research application: An updated report from an I.F.C.N. Committee

TL;DR: These guidelines provide an up-date of previous IFCN report on “Non-invasive electrical and magnetic stimulation of the brain, spinal cord and roots: basic principles and procedures for routine clinical application” and include some recent extensions and developments.
Journal ArticleDOI

The plastic human brain cortex.

TL;DR: The challenge the authors face is to learn enough about the mechanisms of plasticity to modulate them to achieve the best behavioral outcome for a given subject.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence-based guidelines on the therapeutic use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)

TL;DR: There is a sufficient body of evidence to accept with level A (definite efficacy) the analgesic effect of high-frequency rTMS of the primary motor cortex (M1) contralateral to the pain and the antidepressant effect of HF-rT MS of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: A Primer

TL;DR: Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a technique for noninvasive stimulation of the human brain that can influence brain function if delivered repetitively, and is being developed for various therapeutic purposes.

Excitability changes induced in the human motor cortex by weak transcranial direct current stimulation.

TL;DR: Transcranial electrical stimulation using weak current may be a promising tool to modulate cerebral excitability in a non‐invasive, painless, reversible, selective and focal way.
Journal ArticleDOI

Corticocortical inhibition in human motor cortex.

TL;DR: In ten normal volunteers, a transcranial magnetic or electric stimulus that was subthreshold for evoking an EMG response in relaxed muscles was used to condition responses evoked by a later, suprathreshold magnetic orElectric test shock to suggest that the suppression was produced by an action on cortical, rather than spinal excitability.

Risk and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation: report and suggested guidelines from the International Workshop on the Safety of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, June 5–7, 1996

TL;DR: The guidelines for the use of rTMS cover the ethical issues, recommended limits on stimulation parameters, monitoring of subjects (both physiologically and neuropsychologically), expertise and function of the rT MS team, medical and psychosocial management of induced seizures, and contra-indications to r TMS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Depression of motor cortex excitability by low-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation.

TL;DR: Spread of excitation, which may be a warning sign for seizures, occurred in one subject and was not accompanied by increased MEP amplitude, suggesting that spread ofexcitation and amplitude changes are different phenomena and also indicating the need for adequate monitoring even with stimulations at low frequencies.

Induction of plasticity in the human motor cortex by paired associative stimulation.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the induced plasticity may represent a signature of associative long-term potentiation of cortical synapses or closely related neuronal mechanisms in the human cortex.
