Conventional and Threshold-Tracking Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Tests for Single-handed Operation

Most single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) parameters (e.g., motor threshold, stimulus-response function, cortical silent period) are used ...

Pain is a common problem in diabetic neuropathy, but relatively little has been published regarding the extent to which it needs to be addressed in clinical practice.

Importance of pain evaluation for more accurate diagnosis of painful diabetic polyneuropathy.

To investigate acute whiplash-associated disorder in the Lithuanian population who are unaware of the phenomenon.

Patterns of acute whiplash-associated disorder in the Lithuanian population after road traffic accidents.

Short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI), as measured by threshold-tracking as a function of inter-stimulus interval (ISI), has been proposed as a useful biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), but its relationship to conventional amplitude measurements has not been established.

Short-interval intracortical inhibition as a function of inter-stimulus interval: Three methods compared.

The transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technique of threshold-tracking short-interval intracortical inhibition (T-SICI) has been proposed as a diagnostic tool for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Most of these studies have used a circular coil, whereas a figure-of-8 coil is usually recommended for paired-pulse TMS measurements. The aim of this study was to compare figure-of-8 and circular coils for T-SICI in the upper limb, with special attention to reproducibility, and the pain or discomfort experienced by the subjects.

Comparison of figure-of-8 and circular coils for threshold tracking transcranial magnetic stimulation measurements.

Short-interval intracortical inhibition by threshold tracking (T-SICI) has been proposed as a diagnostic tool for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) but has not been compared directly with conventional amplitude measurements (A-SICI). This study compared A-SICI and T-SICI for sensitivity and clinical usefulness as biomarkers for ALS.
