Short-term facilitation effects elicited by cortical priming through theta burst stimulation and functional electrical stimulation of upper-limb muscles

Na Cao et al.

Summary: This study investigates whether cortical stimulation can affect the corticospinal excitability induced by neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). The results show that combined facilitatory priming and NMES can induce long-lasting facilitation in the corticospinal system, while either intervention alone has no effect.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation-promoted plasticity of the human brain

Richard G. Carson et al.

Summary: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has proven to be useful in motor rehabilitation following brain injury, promoting sustained adaptations within central motor pathways and ultimately increasing functional capacity. Understanding the mechanisms of adaptation can inform neurorehabilitation practice and provide a means of studying CNS plasticity at a systems level in humans. The fundamental aspects of NMES, along with adjuvant techniques, play a crucial role in enhancing therapeutic potential.

Plastic changes in primate motor cortex following paired peripheral nerve stimulation

Bonne Habekost et al.

Summary: Repeated paired stimulation of two peripheral nerves can produce lasting changes in motor cortical excitability, with asynchronous stimulation enhancing task performance and neural responses while synchronous stimulation impairs them. The changes in neural activity after paired stimulation can alter the efficiency of encoding stimulus type, indicating the potential of noninvasive stimuli to affect central motor circuits in human subjects.

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.

Multi-session delivery of synchronous rTMS and sensory stimulation induces long-term plasticity

Ming Zhong et al.

Summary: This study aimed to identify protocols combining sensory stimulation with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to induce changes in fMRI activation maps in the rat's primary somatosensory cortex (S1). The results showed that pairing 10 Hz forepaw stimulation with 10 Hz rTMS for five consecutive days led to the greatest increases in fMRI responses compared to other stimulation protocols.

Cortical Re-organization After Traumatic Brain Injury Elicited Using Functional Electrical Stimulation Therapy: A Case Report

Matija Milosevic et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that FEST can effectively improve motor function and increase cortical activations in individuals with chronic TBI. Short-term and long-term assessments indicated increased M1 activation after FEST intervention, which remained stable during follow-ups, suggesting a promising rehabilitation approach for TBI patients.
