U.S., Feb. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07431697) titled 'Boosting and Mapping Non-invasive Brain Stimulation Techniques' on Feb. 19.
Brief Summary: In this study we applied TMS to the hand area of M1 whilst acquiring fMRI of the brain. This study tested whether a higher-frequency form of brain stimulation, called high-gamma (100Hz) intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS), more effectively increases brain excitability than the standard 50Hz iTBS. In a double-blind, randomized study with 22 healthy participants, brain activity and motor responses were measured using TMS-fMRI. The 100Hz iTBS condition produced stronger and more consistent increases in motor excitability and greater activ...
