The role of transcranial magnetic stimulation in epileptology is discussed in this article. Usefulness of TMS are discussed as a diagnostic tool in testing altered cortical excitability in patients with epilepsy and the modes of action of antiepileptic drugs, which are helpful to evaluate the pathophysiology of epilepsy. Also potential therapeutic tool in epilepsy with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation would be mentioned.
本文讨论了经颅磁刺激在癫痫学中的作用。文中探讨了经颅磁刺激作为一种诊断工具在检测癫痫患者皮质兴奋性改变以及抗癫痫药物作用模式方面的实用性,这有助于评估癫痫的病理生理学。此外,还将提及重复经颅磁刺激在癫痫治疗中的潜在作用。
