Rostral-Caudal Effect of Cervical Magnetic Stimulation on the Diaphragm Motor Evoked Potential after Cervical Spinal Cord Contusion in the Rat

Kun-Ze Lee et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the rostral-caudal effect of spinal magnetic stimulation on diaphragmatic motor-evoked potentials after cervical spinal cord injury. The results showed that caudal cervical magnetic stimulation produced more robust diaphragmatic motor-evoked potentials compared with rostral cervical magnetic stimulation. Interestingly, despite weaker inspiratory diaphragmatic activity in contused rats, the diaphragmatic motor-evoked potentials were similar between uninjured and contused rats. Additionally, in contused animals, diaphragmatic motor-evoked potentials were greater at the chronic stage than during earlier injury stages.

Effects of Chronic High-Frequency rTMS Protocol on Respiratory Neuroplasticity Following C2 Spinal Cord Hemisection in Rats

Pauline Michel-Flutot et al.

Summary: High spinal cord injuries (SCIs) often result in permanent diaphragmatic paralysis. This study investigated the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) as a potential noninvasive therapeutic tool for enhancing respiratory function and reducing post-traumatic inflammation in cervical spinal cord injuries. The results suggest that chronic high-frequency rTMS can improve respiratory dysfunction, promote neuronal plasticity, and reduce harmful post-traumatic inflammatory processes. This therapy could be combined with other interventions to enhance outcomes.

High frequency repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation promotes long lasting phrenic motoneuron excitability via GABAergic networks

Pauline Michel-Flutot et al.

Summary: rTMS is a promising non-invasive therapy to ameliorate psychiatric disorders and neuropathic pain through neuromodulation, although the specific neural circuits involved are still not fully understood. This study demonstrated that a single high frequency rTMS protocol at 10 Hz can increase phrenic motoneuron excitability, mediated by local GABAergic disinhibition. Understanding how rTMS can affect neural circuits non-invasively may help harness its therapeutic potential for promoting recovery after disease or central nervous system injury.

Diaphragm Motor-Evoked Potential Induced by Cervical Magnetic Stimulation following Cervical Spinal Cord Contusion in the Rat

Kun-Ze Lee et al.

Summary: Cervical magnetic stimulation can be used to assess post-injury excitability of phrenic motor outputs, with shorter latency and increased amplitude observed in response to acute injury. Placing the stimulation more laterally at the left spinal cord in subchronic and chronic injury stages generally leads to larger motor-evoked potentials of the diaphragm.
