A Transcranial Magnetic Stimulator Inducing Near-Rectangular Pulses With Controllable Pulse Width (cTMS) [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2008
A novel transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device with controllable pulse width (PW) and near-rectangular pulse shape (cTMS) is described. The cTMS device uses an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) with appropriate snubbers to switch coil currents up to 6 kA, enabling PW control from 5 micros to over 100 micros.

A Systematic Review of the Safety and Tolerability of Theta Burst Stimulation in Children and Adolescents

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is often used in clinical practice and research protocols for adults with neuropsychiatric disorders. There are substantial knowledge gaps related to the application of TBS in children and adolescents.

Treatment Stimulator's Pulse of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

The Journal of the Korea Contents Association, 2009
In this study, I presented power control unit with potential use in the magnetic stimulation of biological systems. The effect of the magnetic stimulation depends on the geometry and orientation of the induced electric field as well as on the current pulse waveform delivered by the stimulator coil.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields: A Novel Attractive Therapeutic Opportunity for Neuroprotection After Acute Cerebral Ischemia

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Acute cerebral ischemia is characterized by several pathological processes evolving during time, which contribute to the final tissue damage. Secondary processes, such as prolonged inflammatory response, impaired mitochondrial function and oxidative stress, are responsible for the progression of brain injury to the peri‐infarct area,

Modulatory effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on sensory gating in Fibromyalgia Syndrome

Frontiers in Psychology
IntroductionSeveral studies have demonstrated a reduced habituation to redundant somatosensory stimulation (sensory gating) in Fibromyalgia Syndrome. Furthermore, anodal transcranial direct current stimulation has been shown to modulate somatosensory ...

The Effects of 1 mA tACS and tRNS on Children/Adolescents and Adults: Investigating Age and Sensitivity to Sham Stimulation

Neural Plasticity, 2020
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of transcranial random noise (tRNS) and transcranial alternating current (tACS) stimulation on motor cortex excitability in healthy children and adolescents. Additionally, based on our recent results on

A Randomized, Sham‐Controlled Trial of Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Targeting M1 and S2 in Central Poststroke Pain: A Pilot Trial

Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface, EarlyView., 2021
Abstract Objectives Central poststroke pain (CPSP), a neuropathic pain condition, is difficult to treat. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeted to the primary motor cortex (M1) can alleviate the condition, but not all patients respond. We aimed to assess a promising alternative rTMS target, the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2),

Variability of pulse width in transcranial magnetic stimulation

Journal of Neural Engineering
Abstract Objective. There is a high variability in the physiological effects of transcranial magnetic brain stimulation, resulting in limited generalizability of measurements. The cause of the variability is assumed to be primarily based on differences in brain function and structure of the stimulated individuals ...

Transcranial pulse stimulation in Chinese patients with Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]

Alzheimer's & Dementia, 2020
AbstractBackgroundLow‐intensity extracorporeal shock wave therapy (Li‐ESWT) has been used for years to treat musculoskeletal disorders through promoting tissue regeneration. Recently, transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) with ultrasound, which is a form of Li‐ESWT, was applied to patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD).
