Abstract: Purpose: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the leading causes of child disability, which profoundly affects the lives of whole families and contributes to the burden of health care. Despite the extensive rehabilitative, surgical and other therapeutic efforts of an array of specialists, a significant proportion of patients remain severely disabled. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive diagnostic tool in various diseases of the cerebral cortex and cortico-spinal tract (CST). Repetitive TMS (rTMS… Show more

“…Understanding the effects of magnetic fields on the brain is especially important since magnetic stimulations are already a well-known and well-used method for non-invasive brain stimulation used as both diagnostic and therapeutic tools [20][21][22] . Since magnetic stimulations can modulate various brain functions, they also have the potential to be used as a treatment for numerous neuropsychiatric diseases 23,24 .…”

“…Later on, TMS was gradually applied as a mean of therapy for psychiatric problems such as depression [ 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ], bipolar disorder [ 15 , 17 ], and schizophrenia [ 18 ], among others. Moreover, TMS therapeutic capabilities were tested with success in neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s disease [ 19 ], Alzheimer’s disease [ 20 ], dementia [ 21 ], sleep disorders and insomnia [ 22 ], stroke [ 23 , 24 ], and traumatic brain injuries [ 25 , 26 ].…”

“…Initially, TMS devices for brain mapping required short, but important, periods of time to recover before producing the next pulse. However, for therapeutic TMS, faster devices with shorter recovery times were designed for repetitive TMS (rTMS), which was proposed for the treatment of a wide variety of health problems [ 18 , 21 , 22 , 27 , 28 ]. Recently, theta-burst stimulation (TBS), another modality of TMS, has proved to be as effective as “classical” TMS, with shorter therapy sessions [ 29 , 30 ] for promoting neuroplastic effects in patients with cerebral diseases and trauma.…”
