Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation-associated neurobehavioral gains during coma recovery

Brain Stimulation

Abstract

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a noninvasive method to induce changes in cortical neural excitability. This report presents findings from the first participant of a safety and efficacy study that examined a therapeutic rTMS protocol for persons with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The primary hypothesis was that there will be no adverse events related to the provision of a 6-week rTMS protocol for persons with severe TBI who remain, at best, in a minimally conscious state for longer than 3 months. The secondary hypothesis was that the rTMS protocol would induce significant neurobehavioral gains during treatment and that these gains would persist at 6-week follow-up. A 6-week rTMS protocol (30 sessions) was delivered to a 26-year-old man who remained in a vegetative state 287 days after severe TBI. Stimulation was directed over the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Repeated safety measures, neurobehavioral assessments, clinical examinations, and evoked potentials (EP) were obtained at baseline, every fifth rTMS session (weekly), and at a 6-week follow-up. There were no adverse events related to the provision of rTMS treatment. A trend toward significant (P = .066) neurobehavioral gains was tempor...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
