New Approach Allows Magnetic Brain Stimulation to Target Deep Brain Structures

March 25, 2022 • Research Highlight Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a highly precise and noninvasive brain stimulation tool approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for…

Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation

Excerpt Peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) or so-called transcutaneous magnetic stimulation is a non-invasive method of delivering a rapidly pulsed, high-intensity magnetic field to the periphery…

Effects of unilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the motor cortex on chronic widespread pain in fibromyalgia

Abstract Non-invasive unilateral repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the motor cortex induces analgesic effects in focal chronic pain syndromes, probably by modifying central pain modulatory systems. Neuroimaging studies…

Slow-frequency rTMS reduces fibromyalgia pain

Abstract OBJECTIVE: Evidence suggests that fibromyalgia (FM) is a centrally mediated pain disorder. Antidepressants, including electroconvulsive therapy, provide some symptomatic relief in FM and other…

Transcranial pulsed magnetic field stimulation facilitates reorganization of abnormal neural circuits and corrects behavioral deficits without disrupting normal connectivity

Abstract Although the organization of neuronal circuitry is shaped by activity patterns, the capacity to modify and/or optimize the structure and function of whole projection…

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Improves Tinnitus

Abstract Background and purpose: Tinnitus is a frequent disorder which is very difficult to treat and there is compelling evidence that tinnitus is associated with…

Therapeutic application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation: a review

Abstract Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive means of electrically stimulating neurons in the human cerebral cortex, is able to modify neuronal activity locally and…

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation of the human prefrontal cortex induces dopamine release in the caudate nucleus

Abstract Dopamine is implicated in movement, learning, and motivation, and in illnesses such as Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, and drug addiction. Little is known about the…

Mechanisms and state of the art of transcranial magnetic stimulation

Abstract In 1985, Barker et al. built a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device with enough power to stimulate dorsal roots in the spine. They quickly…

Chronic repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation alters beta-adrenergic and 5-HT2 receptor characteristics in rat brain

Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been shown to affect mood in health and disease. Evidence to date has demonstrated an antidepressant potential for…
