...Nobuyuki Sasaki; Takatoshi Hara; Naoki Yamada; Masachika Niimi; Wataru Kakuda; Masahiro Abo Although repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for hemiparesis is beneficial, so far no study has examined the usefulness of rTMS for apathy. Thirteen patients with chronic stroke were assigned...

...Takatoshi Hara; Masahiro Abo; Kiyohito Kakita; Yuko Mori; Makoto Yoshida; Nobuyuki Sasaki Purpose: To examine the efficacy of selective repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) therapy guided by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) combined with intensive speech therapy (iST...

...Naoki Yamada; Wataru Kakuda; Takahiro Kondo; Sugao Mitani; Masato Shimizu; Masahiro Abo Background: The purpose of this study was to determine whether local injection of botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A) into the spastic muscles has any added benefits to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation...

...Svenja Happe; Sabine Bunten Unilateral facial weakness is common. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) allows identification of a conduction failure at the level of the canalicular portion of the facial nerve and may help to confirm the diagnosis. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 216...

...Salma H. Khaleel; Iman M. Bayoumy; Lobna M. El-Nabil; Ramez Reda Moustafa Objective: To assess the cerebral vasomotor response to ipsilesional repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on transcranial Doppler (TCD) in patients with recent ischemic stroke without carotid occlusive disease...

...Vasilios K. Kimiskidis Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique which, over the last 25 years, has greatly expanded from a simple method for stimulating the motor cortex to an invaluable tool with multiple research, diagnostic and even therapeutic...

...A. Cruz-Martinez; J. Arpa Conduction time of the central motor pathways (CMCT) by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) was performed within the first two weeks in 7 patients with isolated hemicerebellar lesions after stroke. Cerebellar infarcts were small (<2 cm in diameter) in 5 patients...

... effects on objective outcomes. Objective: Herein, we aimed to investigate the immediate effects of two different types of placebo [placebo pill and sham transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)] in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients and compared them to the standard treatment (levodopa) in a proper...

...R. Nardone; F. Tezzon The motor-evoked potentials and the cortical excitability by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) were studied in a family with chromosome 2p linked (due to mutations in spastin) and in a family with chromosome 16q linked (due to mutations in paraplegin) hereditary spastic...
