Because several targets of s-TMS studies play an important role in cognitive performance, the excitation or inhibition of these cortical areas could impair the patient’s performance in certain cognitive domains. Long-term studies assessing the effects of TMS on cognition have, in fact, shown…
Acute brain ischemia causes changes in several neural networks and related cortico-subcortical excitability, both in the affected area and in the apparently spared contralateral hemisphere. The modulation of these processes through modern techniques of noninvasive brain stimulation, namely repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), has…
Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among elderly populations worldwide. During the early phase of stroke, restoring blood circulation is of utmost importance to protect neurons from further injury. Once the initial condition is stabilized, various rehabilitation techniques can be applied…
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been recognized as a promising intervention for the treatment of post-stroke motor deficits. Objective: Here, we explore safety, feasibility, and potential effectiveness of high-frequency rTMS (HF-rTMS) delivered with the Hesed coil (H-coil) during active cycling on paretic lower extremity (LE)…
Deep transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) is more beneficial in activating the leg muscle cortical representation. However, to date, no studies have evaluated the advantages of dTMS compared to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in improving lower extremity motor function in subacute stroke patients. Objective:…
The role of the right hemisphere in post stroke aphasia recovery is still controversial and the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the right homologous Broca’s region have been seldom investigated. Objective: This study aimed to compare the effect of…
To date, no therapies are available for the logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (LPPA). Even though deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) may improve cognitive functions in some neurodegenerative disorders, no previous studies investigated its effects in patients with LPPA. Objective:…
Publication & Date:Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation95:1141-7(2014) Investigators:R Chieffo, S De Prezzo, E Houdayer, A Nuara, G Di Maggio, E Coppi, L Ferrari, L Straffi, F Spangnolo, S Velikova, M Sessa, M Comola, A Zangen, G Comi, L Leocani
The emerging crucial role of non-primary and contralesional motor areas in the recovery of upper extremity (UE) after acute stroke led to the proposal of the “bimodal-balance recovery model”, with the hypothesis that the contribution of ipsi-and contralesional primary and secondary motor…
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…
