Abstract
We studied 58 patients with partial or generalized epilepsy who had transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the brain motor regions. Short-term monitoring disclosed that the stimulation did not provoke seizures or EEG changes in any patient. Long-term follow-up disclosed that the epileptic condition was not made worse by TMS. TMS, as currently used for monitoring conduction in central motor pathways, does not induce seizures in drug-treated epileptic patients.
