| Research Abstract |
Patient with writer's cramp can not take their pen in their hand well because of their involuntary movement. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is drawing attention as the non-invasive low-stressful procedure to Writer's cramp. However, the optimum conditions of rTMS to clinical application and its mechanism of therapeutic effects have not been well-known. The results of our present studies suggest that monophasic (phase) and 0.2Hz (frequency) are more effective than biphasic and 1Hz respectively in the case of stimulating on the premotor area, and also the possibility that the therapeutic effects of rTMS is derived from influencing the incoming somatosensory input for motor control.
