Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present study aimed to investigate stimulus maneuver to change the excitability of the primary motor cortex after transcranial static magnetic field stimulation.
We used neodymium static magnets of the two different magnetic field strength (45MGOe, 48MGOe). The excitability of the primary motor cortex was examined before and after the static magnetic field stimulation for 20min.
The result of this study indicated that the excitability change of the primary motor cortex was not distinctive after the static magnetic field stimulation. Further research may be needed for stimulus maneuver of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation.
