Summary: This study utilized a novel diffuse optical tomography (DOT) device to investigate the neurophysiological effects of rTMS in depressed and healthy subjects. The results demonstrated that depressed subjects had a delayed and less robust response to rTMS with decreased volume of activation compared to healthy subjects.

Summary: The study demonstrates that repetitive trans-spinal magnetic stimulation (rTSMS) can modulate lesion scar and induce functional locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. rTSMS decreases formation of cystic cavities and improves axonal survival in both SCI models, showing promising effects for potential use in human treatment.

Summary: The study found that steroid hormones may not be reliable biomarkers of treatment response in patients with major depressive disorder undergoing repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). While rTMS significantly improved symptoms, salivary biomarker levels did not show significant changes during the treatment sessions.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on patients with morphine dependence (MD). Results showed that the rTMS group had better improvement in morphine craving intensity, depression, anxiety, and sleep quality compared to the control group. No treatment-related adverse events were identified in both groups.

Summary: Neuropathic pain is a common condition caused by damage or disease to the nervous system, and is associated with excessive inflammation. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an adjunctive treatment for neuropathic pain, which can regulate the neuroinflammation system to produce analgesic effects.

Summary: The literature on the application of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is unclear, but existing studies suggest that rTMS is a well-tolerated treatment in patients with BPD. Further research is needed to determine the efficacy of rTMS in different symptoms of BPD and to establish the best cortical targets and stimulation protocols. Longitudinal studies combining evidence-based psychotherapy with rTMS may be a promising approach to improve outcomes for this population in the future.

Summary: There is a growing interest in using non-invasive stimulation interventions, such as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), to improve functional outcomes and recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). This scoping review focuses on the stimulation parameters used in 20 rTMS protocols and explores their potential associations with observed effects. Future studies should consider timing, intervention duration, and dosage in relation to the stage, level, and severity of the injury. More real vs. sham rTMS studies with similar designs and replication information are needed to establish a significant level of evidence for the use of rTMS in SCI.

Summary: The study compared the biomechanical performance of nitinol memory metal rods and titanium rods as posterior spinal instrumentation in a synthetic model. It found that nitinol rods were comparable to titanium rods in compression, but had higher torsional yield point and torsional toughness. While nitinol trended toward superior fatigue resistance, there was no significant difference in fatigue resistance between nitinol and titanium constructs.

Summary: The combination of repetitive peripheral magnetic stimulation (rPMS) with motor imagery (MI) enhances corticospinal excitability, with over 10 minutes of intermittent rPMS combined with MI showing a greater effect than rPMS alone on corticospinal excitability.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the participant's attention target during repetitive passive movement (RPM) intervention on joint movement function and reciprocal inhibition. The results showed that the attention target had a significant impact on the intervention effect, which has implications for improving the effectiveness of rehabilitation.

Summary: This study comprehensively evaluated the neuromodulatory effects of various rTMS protocols on corticospinal excitability. The results showed that these protocols did not significantly modulate corticospinal excitability and had poor reproducibility. These findings question the effectiveness and reliability of widely used rTMS techniques in modulating corticospinal excitability.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the clinical effect and safety of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on poststroke memory disorder (PSMD) through analyzing randomized controlled trials. Various outcome measures will be included and statistical analysis will be conducted to provide reliable conclusions regarding the efficacy of rTMS in treating PSMD.

Summary: This study investigated the association between posttraumatic agitation and recovery of consciousness in severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI) patients. Results showed a positive correlation between the development of agitation and the ability to follow commands, indicating the potential for neurological recovery in patients exhibiting posttraumatic agitation. Further research is needed to identify neural correlates of posttraumatic agitation and consciousness recovery after sTBI.
