Effect of long-term paired associative stimulation on the modulation of cortical sensorimotor oscillations after spinal cord injury

Jukka Vanhanen et al.

Summary: This prospective interventional case series aimed to explore the changes in the modulation of cortical sensorimotor oscillations after long-term paired associative stimulation (PAS) in participants with spinal cord injury (SCI). The results showed that PAS treatment restored the modulation of sensorimotor oscillations in response to active hand movement, but had no effect on the modulation following tactile stimulation.

Optimizing Dosing of Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Stroke Recovery

David T. Pruitt et al.

Summary: The study found that moderate-intensity VNS paired with rehabilitation training maximizes recovery of motor function in models of ischemic stroke. VNS at 0.8 mA was beneficial for functional recovery, while VNS at 0.4 mA and 1.6 mA were not sufficient to improve recovery compared to equivalent rehabilitation without VNS.

Analgesic effect of paired associative stimulation in a tetraplegic patient with severe drug-resistant neuropathic pain: a case report

Selja Vaalto et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of paired associative stimulation (PAS) in treating severe neuropathic pain in spinal cord injury patients. The results showed that PAS not only improved hand motor function, but also significantly reduced pain in the patient, indicating potential for PAS as an adjunct treatment for drug-resistant neuropathic pain in SCI patients.

High intensity VNS disrupts VNS-mediated plasticity in motor cortex

Robert A. Morrison et al.

Summary: The study found that moderate intensity VNS can enhance motor cortex plasticity in rats, while replacing half of moderate intensity stimulation with high intensity VNS can block this enhancement, and reinstating plasticity can be achieved by removing high intensity stimulation and using only 50 pairings of moderate intensity VNS.

A novel paired associative stimulation protocol with a high-frequency peripheral component: A review on results in spinal cord injury rehabilitation

Anastasia Shulga et al.

Summary: The novel high-PAS approach, consisting of non-invasive high-intensity TMS and high-frequency PNS, showed therapeutic effects in patients with incomplete SCI by increasing manual motor scores, enhancing functional hand and walking abilities, and improving functional independence. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms and optimize the settings of high-PAS for potential clinical applications.

The roles of caffeine and corticosteroids in modulating cortical excitability after paired associative stimulation (PAS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) in caffeine-na?ve and caffeine-adapted subjects

Mohd Faizal Mohd Zulkifly et al.

Summary: This study found that caffeine consumption, time of day, and cortisol concentrations can affect the excitability and plasticity of the motor cortex. Moderate caffeine intake alters cortical excitability but does not affect plasticity aftereffects.
