Join the Clinical TMS Society for this installment of our Grand Rounds Webinar Series: TMS for Stroke Rehabilitation

Speaker: Dylan J. Edwards, PhD

The first demonstration of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) occurred nearly 40 years ago, and it showed that TMS could readily activate the human cortex without sophisticated targeting. However, as a tool to probe and modify cortical function, TMS has historically been limited by imprecise targeting. With new advances, including neuronavigation and contemporary modeling of cortical electric field distribution, we are now able to use TMS to examine the detailed functional organization of the primary motor cortex, as well as how the cortex is reorganized after the brain is lesioned. In research to date, patient responses to TMS have been variable, and inaccurate targeting may be a key factor contributing to the high variability in response rate to repetitive TMS (rTMS) interventions. The precision of TMS targeting will be discussed in the context of neurorehabilitation and motor recovery.

Key learning objectives include:

• Describe the rationale for using TMS in recovery of motor function after damage to the cortico-spinal tract such as in stroke or spinal cord injury.
• Describe the benefit of electric field modeling in estimating optimal treatment intensity.
• State the principal result of at least one rTMS/neurorecovery RCT over the past decade.

Take advantage of our live Q&A session at the conclusion of the webinar.
