Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), using standard coils, provided symptomatic benefits in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD). In this group of investigators’ previous exploratory studies, using the newly developed Hesed coil (providing deeper rTMS; Deep TMS™) high frequency (HF), excitatory Deep TMS…
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been proposed as a potentialtreatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD). H-coils, inducing deeper and wider magneticfields compared to traditional coils, may be potentially useful in PD, characterized by widespread, bilateral involvement of cortico-subcortical circuits. Objective: To evaluate…
Recent studies support the possible effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and possible efficacy of bilateral prefrontal deep rTMS for the…
ADHD is a mental health disorder characterized by various symptoms including cognitive impairments, inattention, impulsivity and in some cases, hyperactivity. Despite its high prevalence, the only empirically validated treatment for ADHD is chronic administration of psychostimulants which is not tolerable by all…
Reduced excitability of the right prefrontal cortex (rPFC) is implicated in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Objective: Determine if TMS can become a treatment alternative for ADHD patients who cannot tolerate pharmacotherapy. Methods: Drug-free adult with ADHD (N=40) received 15 daily sessions of…
Despite its high prevalence, the validated treatment for ADHD is chronic administration of psychostimulants, which is associated with side effects and occasionally not tolerated. Deep TMS™ using specialcoil designs for targeting neural networks linked with neuropsychiatric disorders, may become a viable alternative.…
Electrical motor cortex stimulation can relieve neuropathic pain (NP), but its use requires patients to undergo an invasive procedure. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the primary motor cortex (M1) using a figure-8 coil can relieve NP noninvasively, but its ability to…
Painful neuropathy is associated with plasticity changes inthe nervous system. Standard repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS) is a non-invasive technique used to study changes in corticalexcitability and to inhibit pain perception. Deep rTMS is a newerdevelopment that allows direct activation of deeper neuronal…
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a prevalent chronic pain syndrome, with limited therapeutic options. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) is emerging as a potential new treatment modality for FM. Deep TMS™ is a novel modification of standard rTMS, capable of delivering stimulation to a…
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS™) can be an alternative treatment to relieve pain in chronic migraine (CM). Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of high-frequency Deep TMS in add-on to standard treatment for CM in patients…
Pain is the main symptom of Bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis (BPS/IC). It is neuropathic and perceived as violent pressure or a stabbing pain in thesuprapubic region causing a persistent discomfort thatincreases with bladder filling.No single therapy for BPS/IC currently exists.To date, the…
There are currently no biomedical treatments targeting the core symptoms of autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Considering evidence for cortical dysfunction in ASD, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been discussed as a potential therapeutic technique. Objective: Todescribe the application of a new…
Biomedical treatment options for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are extremely limited.Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a safe and efficacious technique when targeting specific areas of cortical dysfunction in major depressive disorder, and a similar approach could yield therapeutic benefits in ASD,…
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairment in interpersonal relations, communication, cognition, and behavior. The mPFCis an important node within functional networks supporting mentalizing abilities which are crucial for social interactions, and were found to be impaired in…
Patients diagnosed with Alzheimer disease (AD) show severe cognitive deficits. Decline in memory, language, and executive function have repeatedly been reported. Although AD affects 60% to 80% of demented elderly patients, there is currently no cure and limited treatment alternatives. Objective: The…
Chieffo, R., De Prezzo, S., Houdayer, E., Nuara, A., Di Maggio, G., Coppi, E., & Leocani, L. (2014). Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation. This study examined the effect of BrainsWay® Deep TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) on patients that suffer from stroke-induced…
