Introduction to Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Protocol, Clinical Application and Mechanism of Low-Frequency Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

초록

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols can be classified based on differences in frequency and modality characteristics. A simple protocol that applies high frequency rTMS (HF-rTMS) above 5 Hz and low frequency rTMS (LF-rTMS) below 1 Hz And it's divided into theta -burst stimulation (TBS), which stimulates the cerebral cortex based on continuous or intermittent stimulation. Simple protocols increase or suppress the activity of the cerebral cortex by varying the frequency. In particular, the corpus callosum supports the control of the cerebral hemisphere, which is called the transcallosal inhibition (TCI) theory or the interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) theory. Based on this theoretical basis, the application of LF-rTMS helped improve depression and helped functional activities by improving bimanual coordination after stroke. Through this, we sought to confirm the positive aspects of LF-rTMS in neurorehabilitation.
