AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Repetitive magnetic stimulation is able to reduce spastic tone increase after applying it at the spinal cord. It was also found to induce frequency-dependent changes in H-reflex. In a small pilot investigation we stimulated a patient with severe spasticity of the lower limbs and applied different stimulation frequencies. The aim was to look for a clinical measurable effect of spastic reduction depending on the applied frequency. We were unable to show such a dependency, but could confirm the spastic-reducing effects of a peripheral repetitive magnetic stimulation using supratheshold intensities.

Evidence-Based Umbrella Review of Non-Invasive Neuromodulation in Chronic Neuropathic Pain.
Eur J Pain

Center for Mathematics, Computation and Cognition, Federal University of ABC, São Bernardo do Campo, SP, Brazil.
Background And Objective: Non-invasive neuromodulation techniques (NIN), such as transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), have been extensively researched for their potential to alleviate pain by reversing neuroplastic changes associated with neuropathic pain (NP), a prevalent and complex condition. However, treating NP remains challenging due to the numerous variables involved, such as different techniques, dosages and aetiologies. It is necessary to provide insights for clinicians and public healthcare managers to support clinical decision-making.

Background: F-8-coil repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and H-1-coil deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) have been indicated for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adult patients by applying different treatment protocols. Nevertheless, the evidence for long-term electrophysiological alterations in the cortex following prolonged TMS interventions, as assessed by quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG), remains insufficiently explored. This study aims to demonstrate the qEEG-based distinctions between rTMS and dTMS in the management of depression and to evaluate the potential correlation between the electrophysiological changes induced by these two distinct TMS interventions and the clinical improvement in depressive and anxiety symptoms.

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) categorizes postpartum depression (PPD) as a subtype of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with peripartum onset, generally arising within the initial trimester following delivery. This acute psychiatric condition is characterized by feelings of worthlessness, insomnia, extreme anxiety, or maternal neglect. Intranasal oxytocin (OT) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have the potential to address impaired social cognition; nonetheless, their neuronal underpinnings, along with their safety and efficacy, are little comprehended.

Background: Non-invasive neuromodulation is a promising approach for improving spasticity and motor function after stroke. However, it is still unclear which type of non-invasive neuromodulation is effective and evidence of important differences between them and botulinum toxin (BoNT) injection is limited. We aimed to assess the comparative efficacy and acceptability of non-invasive neuromodulation technologies and BoNT for post-stroke spasticity and motor function.

Improving brain function impairment in people with substance use disorders (PSUD) is considered to be important in regulating their cyclic drug use impulse and relapse behavior. Physical exercise (PE) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may improve brain functional impairment in PSUD, respectively, but few studies have focused on the benefits and mechanisms of the combined use of the two. This editorial presents: 1) Both PE and rTMS alone appear to have positive effects on PSUD's reward system, cognitive function, and emotional regulation to varying degrees.
