Long-Interval Intracortical Inhibition and the Cortical Silent Period in Youth.

Background: The cortical silent period (CSP) and long-interval intracortical inhibition (LICI) are putative markers of γ-aminobutyric acid receptor type B (GABA)-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission. We aimed to assess the association between LICI and CSP in youths.

Methods: We analyzed data from three previous studies of youth who underwent CSP and LICI measurements with transcranial magnetic stimulation and electromyography.

The COVID-19 pandemic put an unprecedented strain on clinical research worldwide. As in-person clinical trials came to a screeching halt, we sought new ways to move forward, or as Bob Dylan put it, "start swimmin' or sink like a stone." Telemedicine has long been a part of medicine and clinical research, but fully remote clinical trials were few and far between.
