Effects of Trans-spinal Magnetic Stimulation on Cortical Excitability in Healthy Individuals

Recruiting now · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Healthy Individuals

In brief

This study investigates the immediate effects of different parameters (frequency and intensity) of trans-spinal magnetic stimulation (TsMS) on cortical excitability in healthy individuals. Using a randomized, double-blind crossover design, the research aims to identify optimal stimulation protocols for modulating neural activity. Outcomes include measurements of motor-evoked potentials (MEP), intracortical inhibition (ICI), and facilitation (ICF). Findings may enhance non-invasive therapeutic strategies for neurological disorders.
