Exploring Transcranial Static Magnetic Field Stimulation: A Pilot Study A recent pilot study published in Scientific Reports delves into the potential of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS) as a non-invasive brain stimulation technique for modulating corticospinal excitability. Led by Cristina Pagge and her team from HM Hospitales, the study investigates the effects of tSMS applied over the supplementary motor area (SMA) on motor cortex activity. The results reveal promising findings, indicating that tSMS over SMA can reduce corticospinal excitability in the motor cortex for at least 30 minutes after stimulation. This reduction was observed in both the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscle and the extensor carpi radialis (ECR) muscle. Notably, tSMS did not affect intracortical excitability, suggesting a specific modulation of corticospinal pathways. These findings hold significant implications for potential therapeutic applications of tSMS, particularly in movement disorders and other neurological conditions affecting motor function. However, further research, including double-blind, placebo-controlled studies, is warranted to validate these preliminary results. If confirmed, tSMS could emerge as a valuable tool for home-based neuromodulation therapies, offering new avenues for managing various neurological and psychiatric disorders. #tms #tmstherapy #depression #neurology #neurologist #psychiatry #psychiatrist #therapy https://lnkd.in/e-HbSsF8

There's growing evidence to suggest that drugs like Ozempic and other GLP-1 receptor agonists could have significant benefits in treating various neurological and psychiatric conditions. As researchers continue to explore their potential applications, it's becoming clear that these medications might offer new hope for patients dealing with conditions like concussions and chronic pain.

Transcranial near-infrared laser or light stimulation produces neurotherapeutic effects on frontal cortex functions such as sustained attention, working memory, and depression. There are several clinical trials on transcranial LLLT for stroke, traumatic brain injury, psychiatric disorders, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer's disease, autism and more.

A novel technique for non-invasively probing deep into the human brain to provide therapy for neurological disorders has been successfully tested at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne, EPFL. An interdisciplinary team of researchers led by Friedhelm Hummel and postdoc Pierre Vassiliadis are pioneering transcranial Temporal Interference Electric Stimulation (tTIS). The method targets deep brain regions that are the control centres of several important cognitive functions and involved in different neurological and psychiatric pathologies.

The diagnosis of ALSP encompasses a broad range of physical and neurological symptoms, from neuropsychiatric symptoms to progressive motor impairment. Clinicians and researchers are presented with a disease that not only demands a multidisciplinary management approach but also challenges our understanding of neurodegenerative processes. For the medical community, thorough comprehension of ALSP’s symptomatic landscape is essential for both accurate diagnosis and the development of effective interventions. It underscores the necessity for ongoing research and education in this field to enhance patient outcomes. As we deepen our grasp of this condition, our collective expertise becomes a crucial asset in advancing the care and support for individuals impacted by ALSP. - #RareDisease #BrainHealth #Neurology

"Recently developed non-invasive 🧠⚡ deep brain stimulation methods have sufficient focal specificity to target deep brain structures. These techniques show particular promise as treatment strategies for neuropsychiatric disorders in which deep brain structures have critical roles in pathophysiology or in mediating recovery. Transcranial temporal interference electrical stimulation (tTIS) approach can overcome the problem of depth–focality trade-off to enable neuromodulation of deep brain structures."
