Central motor conduction times were studied using transcranial magnetic stimulation in 17 patients with syringomyelia. Central motor conduction time (lower-limb pathway) was prolonged or responses were absent in 44% of stimulations. When results were compared with clinical findings and magnetic resonance tomography, only a weak correlation was found. Transcranial magnetic stimulation is thus of limited value for diagnosing and monitoring the course of syringomyelia.
采用经颅磁刺激技术对17例脊髓空洞症患者的中枢运动传导时间进行了研究。44%的刺激中，中枢运动传导时间（下肢通路）延长或无反应。将结果与临床表现及磁共振成像进行比较时，仅发现微弱的相关性。因此，经颅磁刺激在脊髓空洞症的诊断和病程监测方面价值有限。
