Objective: To investigate whether a higher number of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) sessions results in greater improvement upper limb function chronic post-stroke patients. Materials and methods: A randomized, sham-controlled, double-blind clinical trial was conducted 57 patients (≥ 3 months after their injuries). The were allocated to receive tDCS combined with physiotherapy divided into three groups (anodal, cathodal, sham). Fugl-Meyer Assessment Upper Extremity (FMA-UE)...
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over motor cortex and trans-spinal direct current (tsDCS) modulate corticospinal circuits in healthy injured subjects. However, their associated effects with physical exercise is still not defined. This study aimed to investigate the effect of three different settings rTMS tsDCS combined treadmill on spinal cord cortical excitability We performed a triple blind, randomized, sham-controlled crossover 12 volunteers who underwent single...
Background A better understanding of migraine pathophysiology through standardized methods could facilitate the development more effective therapeutic approaches for sufferers. However, neurophysiological studies with sufferers present larger variability, as most contain only a single measurement. Objective This observational study aimed to compare cortical and visual excitability sufferers, individuals other types headaches, healthy participants in response pattern-reversal stimulation....
The ratio between slower and faster frequencies of brain activity may change after stroke. However, few studies have used quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) index ratios such as the delta/alpha (DAR) power (PRI; <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"> <a:mtext>delta</a:mtext> <a:mo>+</a:mo> <a:mtext>theta</a:mtext> <a:mo>/</a:mo> <a:mtext>alpha</a:mtext> <a:mtext>beta</a:mtext> </a:math> ) for investigating difference affected unaffected hemisphere poststroke....
Differentiated brain activation in high-performance athletes supports neuronal mechanisms relevant to sports performance. Preparation for the motor action involves cortical and sub-cortical regions that can be non-invasively modulated by electrical current stimulation. This study aimed investigate effect of high-definition transcranial direct stimulation (HD-tDCS) on activity professional female basketball players during free-throw shooting. Successful shooting ( n = 2,361) from seven was...
Electroencephalography (EEG) is a promising tool for identifying the physiological biomarkers of fibromyalgia (FM). Evidence suggests differences in power band and density between individuals with FM healthy controls. EEG changes appear to be associated pain intensity; however, their relationship quality has not been examined. We aimed investigate whether abnormal frontal central points 10-20 system pain's sensory-discriminative affective-motivational dimensions. The association two...
Purpose Our report describes the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) on independent gait recovery in a patient incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI).Case Description The was 31-year-old male, household ambulator (aid walker) and community wheelchair user who 8.5 year post traumatic iSCI (T8 vertebra injury, AIS D).Intervention participated 12 sessions (three times/week for four weeks) rTMS (1800 pulses,...
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been applied for modulating cortical excitability and treating spasticity in neurological lesions. However, it is unclear which rTMS frequency most effective spinal incomplete cord injury (SCI).To evaluate electrophysiological clinical repercussions of compared to sham when the primary motor cortex (M1) individuals with SCI.A total 11 subjects (35±12 years) underwent three experimental sessions (10 Hz, 1 Hz stimulation) a randomized...
INTRODUCTION: Despite being considered least important for clinical practice in the pyramid of evidence recommendations, sometimes scientists' expert opinions could help to better understand summarization updated publications. OBJECTIVE: To provide a major summarized update about brain imaging and stimulation nervous system health disease. METHODS: Comprehensive review developed by experts each subarea knowledge neuroimaging non-invasive system. A team researchers clinic was invited present...
INTRODUCTION: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be a particularly useful tool to assess the integrity of corticospinal tract (CST) in post-stroke patients, based on motor evoked potential (MEP) which we determine extent brain damage and predict recovery after injuries. OBJECTIVE: To provide practical guide functional CST hand area primary cortex (Hand-M1) using single-pulse TMS. RESULTS: A step by procedure should initiated with markings find C3 or C4 from 10-20 system, depending...
Experimental studies have shown that repetitive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation (TsMS) decreases demyelination and enables recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the usefulness of TsMS in humans with SCI remains unclear. Therefore, main objective this study is to evaluate effects combined kinesiotherapy on symptoms. We describe a protocol treatment patient due neuromyelitis optica (NMO)-associated transverse myelitis.
