  • Title: Reduction of spastic tone increase induced by peripheral repetitive magnetic stimulation is frequency-independent.
    Author: Krause P, Straube A.
    Journal: NeuroRehabilitation; 2005; 20(1):63-5. PubMed ID: 15798358.
    Abstract:
    Repetitive magnetic stimulation is able to reduce spastic tone increase after applying it at the spinal cord. It was also found to induce frequency-dependent changes in H-reflex. In a small pilot investigation we stimulated a patient with severe spasticity of the lower limbs and applied different stimulation frequencies. The aim was to look for a clinical measurable effect of spastic reduction depending on the applied frequency. We were unable to show such a dependency, but could confirm the spastic-reducing effects of a peripheral repetitive magnetic stimulation using supratheshold intensities.
