Paired-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (ppTMS) is a well-established method for non-invasive measurement of cortical excitability, alterations of which are the core background of epilepsy. For the past 20 years this technique has been extensively used to assess patients with epilepsy. We present here a critical overview of these studies, with emphasis on their translation to the clinical practice.
成对脉冲经颅磁刺激（ppTMS）是一种成熟的皮质兴奋性无创测量方法，其改变是癫痫的核心背景。在过去的 20 年中，这项技术已被广泛用于评估癫痫患者。我们在此对这些研究进行了批判性综述，重点介绍了它们在临床实践中的转化。
