Reducing motor evoked potential amplitude variability through normalization [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychiatryBackgroundTranscranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is used for in vivo assessment of human motor cortical excitability, with application of TMS pulses over the motor cortex resulting in muscle responses that can be recorded with electromyography (EMG) as ...

Motor and Somatosensory Evoked Potential Monitoring Without Wakeup Test during Scoliosis Surgery [PDF]
Journal of Rawalpindi Medical College, 2019 Background: Available evidence suggests that Transcranial electric motor evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potential are safe methods to check the integrity of the spinal cord during spine deformity correction surgery. We compare the efficacy of

Diagnostic Value of Multimodal Intraoperative Neuromonitoring by Combining Somatosensory-With Motor-Evoked Potential in Posterior Decompression Surgery for Thoracic Spinal Stenosis [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 BackgroundIntraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) has become an increasingly essential technique in spinal surgery. However, data on the diagnostic value of IONM in predicting impending postoperative neurological deficits (PONDs) for patients who underwent

Long-term motor deficit in brain tumour surgery with preserved intra-operative motor-evoked potentials [PDF]
, 2021 Muscle motor-evoked potentials are commonly monitored during brain tumour surgery in motor areas, as these are assumed to reflect the integrity of descending motor pathways, including the corticospinal tract.
