Magnetic stimulation of the central and peripheral nervous system is widely used today in clinical neurophysiology to assess the functional status of motor efferent pathways and peripheral nerves. Introduced in the 1980s, this technique is based on the induction of high-intensity, rapidly changing magnetic fields (up to 2 T), which generate an electric field in nerve tissues through electromagnetic induction. Despite its widespread use, the technique remains largely empirical, with several areas for improvement in both technology and clinical applications. | |||
'''Abstract:''' Magnetic stimulation of the central and peripheral nervous system is widely used today in clinical neurophysiology to assess the functional status of motor efferent pathways and peripheral nerves. Introduced in the 1980s, this technique is based on the induction of high-intensity, rapidly changing magnetic fields (up to 2 T), which generate an electric field in nerve tissues through electromagnetic induction. Despite its widespread use, the technique remains largely empirical, with several areas for improvement in both technology and clinical applications. | |||
In recent years, although mathematical models simulating the induced fields have advanced, technological innovation in stimulators and coils has been limited, focusing primarily on changes in coil design. One particularly critical area is improving the focusing capability of the induced electric fields. The ability to focus the electric field in specific regions could significantly expand the applications of magnetic stimulation, such as studying nerve centers that control respiration or developing new methods for non-invasive ventricular defibrillation. | In recent years, although mathematical models simulating the induced fields have advanced, technological innovation in stimulators and coils has been limited, focusing primarily on changes in coil design.
