Theta burst stimulation (TBS), a specific version of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), is known to induce long-term plasticity of the brain with a short-term administration. Although many studies and treatments have increasingly used TBS as a neuromodulation tool, its reliability is still in question. This article reviews a study by Boucher et al. (Boucher PO, Ozdemir RA, Momi D, Burke MJ, Jannati A, Fried PJ, Pascual-Leone A, Shafi MM, Santarnecchi E. 11: 21170, 2021) that found minimal reliability of TBS by examining different TBS protocols (intermittent/continuous/sham) and considers possible alternative explanations for the variability of TBS effects.
θ爆发刺激（TBS）是一种特定形式的经颅磁刺激（TMS），其通过短期的应用可以诱导大脑的长期可塑性。尽管许多研究和治疗已经越来越多地使用 TBS 作为神经调节工具，但它的可靠性仍存在疑问。本文回顾了 Boucher 等人的一项研究（Boucher PO, Ozdemir RA, Momi D, Burke MJ, Jannati A, Fried PJ, Pascual-Leone A, Shafi MM, Santarnecchi E. 11: 21170, 2021），该研究发现 TBS 的可靠性很低，通过检查不同的 TBS 方案（间歇/连续/假刺激），并考虑了 TBS 效应可变性的其他可能的解释。
