Pediatric applications of transcranial magnetic stimulation are rapidly expanding, but lack the safety data established for adults. Transcranial magnetic stimulation-induced neurocardiogenic syncope may represent an age-dependent adverse event that is essentially undescribed in the transcranial magnetic stimulation literature. We report on 2 adolescents (of 10 children studied) with transcranial magnetic stimulation-related neurocardiogenic syncope, identify modifiable risk factors, and suggest measures to improve the safety of future pediatric transcranial magnetic stimulation studies.
经颅磁刺激在儿科的应用正在迅速扩展，但缺乏针对成人确立的安全数据。经颅磁刺激诱发的神经心源性晕厥可能是一种与年龄相关的不良事件，而经颅磁刺激文献中对此基本上没有描述。我们报告了2例（在研究的10名儿童中）与经颅磁刺激相关的神经心源性晕厥的青少年患者，确定了可改变的危险因素，并提出了提高未来儿科经颅磁刺激研究安全性的措施。
