Although transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) to the primary motor cortex (M1) increases corticospinal excitability and improves motor function, the effects of tRNS timing have not been clarified when combined with motor training. The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of different tRNS timing on corticospinal excitability and motor function. We applied tRNS to the left M1 using a frequency of 0.1-640 Hz for 10 min to 15 healthy subjects. Subjects performed visuomotor tracking tasks with right hand for 10 min and participated in the following four conditions based on the timing of tRNS: (1) "before" condition, tRNS was performed before motor training; (2) "during" condition, tRNS was performed during motor training; (3) "after" condition, tRNS was performed after motor training; and (4) sham condition, the control group. Motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes were recorded from the right first dorsal interosseous muscle using transcranial magnetic stimulation. MEP amplitudes were assessed by baseline followed by three sessions at 10 min intervals. The motor function was assessed before and after tRNS and motor training. The MEP amplitude increased after tRNS in the before and during conditions but not in the after condition. Motor function after motor training improved in all conditions, but there were no significant differences between these conditions. The present study revealed that the timing of tRNS affects corticospinal excitability but not motor learning.
虽然经颅随机噪声刺激(tRNS)刺激初级运动皮层(M1)可以增加皮质脊髓兴奋性并改善运动功能,但当与运动训练结合使用时,tRNS 时间的影响尚未阐明。本研究旨在阐明不同 tRNS 时间对皮质脊髓兴奋性和运动功能的影响。我们使用频率为 0.1-640Hz 的 tRNS 对 15 名健康受试者的左侧 M1 进行 10 分钟至 15 分钟的刺激。受试者使用右手进行 10 分钟的视觉运动跟踪任务,并根据 tRNS 的时间分为以下四种条件:(1)“之前”条件,tRNS 在运动训练之前进行;(2)“期间”条件,tRNS 在运动训练期间进行;(3)“之后”条件,tRNS 在运动训练之后进行;(4)假刺激条件,即对照组。使用经颅磁刺激从右侧第一背侧骨间肌记录运动诱发电位(MEP)幅度。MEP 幅度通过基线后在 10 分钟间隔的三个会话进行评估。在 tRNS 和运动训练前后评估运动功能。在“之前”和“期间”条件下,tRNS 后 MEP 幅度增加,但在“之后”条件下则没有增加。所有条件下运动训练后的运动功能均有所改善,但这些条件之间没有显著差异。本研究表明,tRNS 的时间影响皮质脊髓兴奋性,但不影响运动学习。
