Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive brain technique with potential to improve memory. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which still lacks specific therapy, clinical syndrome associated increased risk of dementia. This study aims assess the effects high-frequency repetitive TMS (HF rTMS) on everyday memory elderly MCI. We conducted double-blinded randomized sham-controlled trial using rTMS over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Thirty-four outpatients meeting...
<h3>Objective</h3> To compare the analgesic effects of stimulation anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) or posterior superior insula (PSI) against sham deep (d) repetitive (r) transcranial magnetic (TMS) in patients with central neuropathic pain (CNP) after stroke spinal cord injury a randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled, 3-arm parallel study. <h3>Methods</h3> Participants were randomly allocated into active PSI-rTMS, ACC-rTMS, sham-PSI-rTMS, sham-ACC-rTMS arms. Stimulations performed for...
Tinnitus is a frequent disorder which very difficult to treat and there compelling evidence that tinnitus associated with functional alterations in the central nervous system. Targeted modulation of tinnitus-related cortical activity has been proposed as promising new treatment approach. We aimed investigate both immediate long-term effects low frequency (1 Hz) repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) patients normal hearing.Using parallel design, 20 were randomized receive either...
Although depression is highly prevalent in Parkinson disease (PD), little known about the neural correlates associated with and antidepressant treatment PD.To examine effects of fluoxetine repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) using SPECT patients PD depression.Twenty-six were enrolled into two groups: One received active rTMS placebo medication other sham 20 mg/day. Brain was performed at baseline after 2 8 weeks. Changes rCBF compared...
<i>Objective:</i> To study the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on epileptic EEG discharges in patients with refractory epilepsy and malformations cortical development (MCDs). <i>Methods:</i> Eight MCD underwent 1 session low-frequency rTMS (0.5 Hz, 600 pulses) focally targeting MCD. The number epileptiform (EDs) seizures were measured before (baseline), immediately after as well 15 30 days treatment. <i>Results:</i>...
Abstract Subthalamic deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is used to treat refractory motor complications in Parkinson disease (PD), but its effects on nonmotor symptoms remain uncertain. Up 80% of patients with PD may have pain relief after STN-DBS, it unknown whether analgesic properties are related potential sensory thresholds or secondary improvement. We previously reported significant and long-lasting DBS, which did not correlate symptomatic control. Here we present data exploring the DBS a...
Abstract Background Gait disorders in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) can become disabling progression without effective treatment. Objectives To investigate the efficacy of intermittent θ burst trans‐spinal magnetic stimulation (TsMS) PD gait and balance disorders. Methods This was a randomized, parallel, double‐blind, controlled trial. Active or sham TsMS applied at third thoracic vertebra 100% motor threshold, during 5 consecutive days. Participants were evaluated baseline,...
Abstract Background The different phenotypic presentations of fibromyalgia (FM) have been infrequently studied and may diagnostic therapeutic implications. aim this study was to explore differences between FM patients with classical symmetric (s‐FM) presentation marked asymmetric (a‐FM) pain. Methods We performed two consecutive cross‐sectional studies on matched healthy volunteers (HV). were divided into a‐FM (and s‐FM groups according their score pain intensity each body side; a difference...
The use of right unilateral electrode placement for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is one the most important developments on technique because it considered to spare cognition. Nevertheless, best way determine charge be given individual patient still controversial. We present an open study ECT using method limits and giving treatments with 6 times seizure threshold. Of 30 patients, there was a response/remission rate 53.33%, as measured by Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, after mean 8...
Estimulação magnética transcraniana (EMT) é uma nova técnica capaz de estimular o cérebro humano com algumas vantagens sobre as já existentes. A EMT indolor, não-invasiva, simples ser aplicada e, mais importante, considerada baixo risco para pesquisas em seres humanos. Essa ferramenta tem sido proposta usada como tratamento diversas doenças neurológicas e psiquiátricas. pode atuar modulando a excitabilidade cortical no humano. Portanto, essa patologias cerebrais que cursem alterações...
CONTEXTO: A trazodona, substância com potencial antidepressivo e ansiolítico, continua sendo uma opção terapêutica, inclusive como indutor do sono. OBJETIVO: Recuperar informações buscar novos conhecimentos sobre sua farmacocinética farmacodinâmica e, assim, melhor compreender seu perfil de interações medicamentosas, aumentando a segurança em uso. MÉTODO: Esta revisão foi realizada por meio busca eletrônica nos bancos dados Medline HighWire Press, utilizando palavras-chave "trazodone",...
BACKGROUND: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non invasive technique to modulate neuronal activity. TMS and Deep are promising tools treat nicotine addiction. This study aims evaluate the efficacy/safety of dTMS on smoking cessation. OBJECTIVE: Preliminary descriptive analysis. METHODS: Inclusion criteria: smoke more than 10 cigarettes/day, over 1 year with no interruption above 3months; both gender; aged between 22-70 years. Exclusion psychiatric disorders other depression and/or...
