Preoperative Applications of Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Preoperative mapping of cortical structures prior to neurosurgical intervention can provide a roadmap of the brain with which neurosurgeons can navigate critical cortical structures.

Mapping of the supplementary motor area using repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation [PDF]

Brain Stimulation, 2023
BackgroundThe supplementary motor area (SMA) is important for motor and language function. Damage to the SMA may harm these functions, yet tools for a preoperative assessment of the area are still sparse.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to validate a ...

Protocol for mapping of the supplementary motor area using repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
BackgroundDamage to the supplementary motor area (SMA) can lead to impairments of motor and language function. A detailed preoperative mapping of functional boarders of the SMA could therefore aid preoperative diagnostics in these patients.ObjectiveThe ...

Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Motor Mapping Usefulness in the Surgical Management of Patients Affected by Brain Tumors in Eloquent Areas: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Background: The surgical strategy for brain glioma has changed, shifting from tumor debulking to a more careful tumor dissection with the aim of a gross-total resection, extended beyond the contrast-enhancement MRI, including the hyperintensity on FLAIR ...

Mapping Motor Neuroplasticity after Successful Surgical Brachial Plexus Reconstruction Using Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (nTMS) [PDF]

Neurology International
Brachial plexus reconstruction (BPR) consists of the complex surgical restoration of nerve structures. To further understand the underlying motor cortex changes and evaluate neuroplasticity after a successful surgery, we performed a navigated ...

MarLe: Markerless estimation of head pose for navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation. [PDF]

Phys Eng Sci Med, 2023
Navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (nTMS) is a valuable tool for non-invasive brain stimulation. Currently, nTMS requires fixing of markers on the patient’s head.

Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Motor Mapping and Diffusion Tensor Imaging Tractography for Diencephalic Tumor in Pediatric Patients. [PDF]

Brain Sci, 2023
Background. In deep-seated brain tumors, adequate preoperative planning is mandatory to assess the best surgical corridor to obtain maximal safe resection.

Preconditioning of the motor network with repetitive navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rnTMS) to improve oncological and functional outcome in brain tumor surgery: a study protocol for a randomized, sham-controlled, triple-blind clinical trial. [PDF]

Trials, 2023
Background The extent of resection of glioma is one of the most important predictors of the survival duration of patients after surgery. The presence of eloquent areas within or near a tumor often limits resection, as resection of these areas would ...

Quantification of tumor induced motor cortical plasticity using navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation in patients with adult-type diffuse gliomas. [PDF]

Front Neurosci, 2023
Introduction The evaluation of brain plasticity can provide relevant information for the surgical planning of patients with brain tumors, especially when it comes to intrinsic lesions such as gliomas.

Epileptogenic LGG surgery with seizure freedom purpose: Supratotal resection (ETT-SpTR) based on Electrocorticography and navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation. [PDF]

Acta Neurochir (Wien)
Low-grade gliomas (LGG)—related seizures may persist after gross total resection (GTR). Supratotal resection (SpTR) seems to have better seizure outcomes, likely due to removing the epileptogenic peritumoral neocortex.
